I mean, we knew it was an M2 based on the FCC filing but it's good to see a confirmation. The question is now whether or not the MPC will still continue to get all butthurt if we swap out the drive or start adding/replacing files. Also, is there still a bottleneck? Can we see the drive when connected to a computer?

Logically speaking, its a standard NVME drive so replacing it with another would be possible.

While it's nice to some extent to have "it all" in one space... and it *is* fancy to be able to mount the internal drive now... I'd still be worried about killing a brand new system. Chances of bricking it are probably pretty low... but... certainly non-zero. And migrating to a new drive and expanding the disk requires a good amount of linux knowledge. Not impossible for some enterprising person to write up... and somebody might have even done it over on reddit already.

I'm willing to accept payment if you need me to migrate your current nvme drive to a new nvme drive.

I can guarantee that I'll accept payment as well.
