These Dell laptops should take m2. 2230 or 2280 NVMe drives.
Is this the type of component we can ask people to donate from their old hardware stash or should we try to acquire new?
What are inexpensive sources of these drives? Does it matter whether it is 2230 or 2280?
Even 128 GB should be plenty, but I don't know if they make them that small anymore. With the current RAM crunch, SSD prices have skyrocketed as well, so it may be hard to get them at a reasonable price. In the NVMe form factor, it is SSD only. Too small for hard drives.
