Pretty simple mod I got an m.2 to usb adapter and soldered it to the pins for the back usb port. I saw someone else do something similar on youtube but they had to remove part of the disc drive to get it to fit since it was a sata drive. The m.2 with an adapter is a lot smaller and there is space for it to fit next to the heatsink cover. I used this adapter https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08XTG7XW1 with a 42mm m.2 drive
The wires go from the pins of the usb port on the underside of the board under the fan and come out through the metal shield thing

Just reassembled and I think it might be blocking wifi, wont connect to my router. Managed to fix this by opening and wrapping the ssd in tinfoil. This might not be an issue with more expensive m.2 adapters or ssds
