So are these portable SSDs shuckable and actually able to be used as m.2 or SATA. Asking for a friend
It absolutely is shuckable. I went to the trouble of importing one from South Korea when it came out to shuck the drive to put into my Lenovo Legion laptop which uses this less common form factor. Inside is an M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen 3x4 SSD. The 2242 sized SK Hynix BC711 SSD inside is one of the few SSDs of this smaller form factor (2242) to have a DRAM cache (it's not visible as a separate chip, but is embedded on the NAND package, as indicated by the infosheet for the BC711).
If anyone wants to repurpose the enclosure after shucking, it has a M.2 to USB-C (3.2 Gen 3x2) interface and has an ASM2362 bridge chip. All screws on the device are phillips (+) head, so any regular small screwdriver will open it.
