OcuLink eGPU works with the Dual M.2 expansion bay module

The thickness of M.2 PCB was too high for the included retention screws, so I had to file down the PCB at the retention screw location a lil bit, checking that I didn’t short any layers. (Be sure to also do the filing at a different location than your laptop because you’ll produce a lot of fine copper dust and you don’t want it getting into your laptop. Wipe the PCB after filing with a cloth damp with alcohol as well.)

@Gmanny when I saw this thread it made my day so thanks for posting, but I wanted to add that it is not strictly necessary to file down anything. You could also just exchange the screws, i.e. use the golden normal screw to fix the adapter down (it works fine as it is not a full scale m.2 ssd), and I then opted for screwing the retention screw in where the normal one was to make sure I do not lose it, see picture.
