One man's trash is another man's treasure!
A friend was ready to toss his dead Series X because he couldn't fix it.
I figured there was no way that 1TB NVMe was going to waste.
I grabbed a 2230 to 2280 (5€ on Amazon) extension and slotted it into my ASUS TUF B760-PLUS.
After a quick manip with the proprietary Xbox partitions using diskpart clean, it’s now a fully functional 867GB Steam drive.
It fits perfectly into my current build
I wasn't sure if it would work at first… but with prices skyrocketing lately, I just had to try. A $5 adapter was a small price to pay to find out for sure! Result: I'm honestly so stoked haha
Don't let your friends throw away good hardware, folks!
