Made for
- M.2 drive 22 mm wide with a 0.80 mm thick board.
- Version 2230: holder 49.8 x 21.6 mm. Version 2242: holder 37.8 x 21.6 mm.
- The holder is 1.96 mm thick and sticks up 1.12 mm above the drive board.
Not made for
- A drive with a part or a sticker edge in the 5.5 mm zone next to the screw.
- A slot next to a hot heatsink, as PLA gets soft at 55 to 60 °C.
- A board with a fixed standoff in the 2230 or 2242 position that is taller than the underside of the drive.
M.2 Adapter for SSD 2230 and 2242 to 2280
Holds a short M.2 drive 2230 or 2242 on the screw in the 2280 position, when the board has no standoff closer in.

What is in the pack
One order has two pieces: one for a 2230 drive and one for a 2242 drive. You use the original M.2 screw from the board.
How to use it
The holder is made upside down, so turn it over before you use it, with the number facing the board. Put the pin into the half-round notch of the drive and lay the tab on the drive board. Then tighten the other end with the original M.2 screw into the standoff in the 2280 position.
Who it is for
For technicians who get a short drive from a console or a small laptop and need to put it into a desktop board with only one 2280 standoff. It is also a cheap spare for the service drawer.
Good to know
The holder only changes the mechanics. It does not touch the protocol, so an NVMe or SATA drive works just as it does in its original position. The tab is 2.6 mm long and holds the end of the drive against the spring of the connector. How firmly, only a try with a real drive will show.
2230 SSD and 2242 SSD dimensions
The bracket is designed for single-sided drives 22 mm wide and 30 or 42 mm long. Double-sided drives and drives with a heatsink or a thick label are not what it is designed for. Dimensions are per design. We have not yet checked it against real parts, so compare the dimensions with your own part.

Common questions
Is the holder made for a double-sided M.2 drive?
There is nothing under the drive board and the holder sticks up 1.12 mm on top. If the drive has thicker parts on the underside, check the board specification first. We do not expect it to work.
Does the holder make the drive slower?
No. It is a purely mechanical part and the data transfer does not change.
Which screw do you use?
The original M.2 screw from the board, usually M2 x 3 mm. The tab is 0.84 mm thick, the same as the drive board.
