Things you recently bought or got

[ILuvGames]

An AMD 5800X3D in the sales, four 8GB sticks of 3200 mhz Corsair Vengeance LPX RAM and a Noctua NH-U14S CPU cooler. Just saving for the MSI B550-A PRO motherboard to go with it. Certainly gonna be a step up from my current i7-4770k rig with it's original GTX 770.

Xbox Series S/X PCIE NVMe SSD Adapter, new toy to mess around with.

Where would one get the ssd drive from for that adapter?

It is 2230 form factor

 

[KiiWii]

It is 2230 form factor

Is it only compatible with specific storage? Is there a limitation on how much space it can add?

 

[ILuvGames]

@KiiWii Had a look myself and all the sellers mention it only working with a WD CH SN530 so far. Not sure if that limitation is XBOX Series S/X specific.

I don't think so, just that the form factor for the adapter is for 2230, it is basically like an xbox expansion slot card that Microsoft sell, was just something to mess around with.

Incorrect actually, the Series X expansion slot will only read specific SSDs, you can't plunk any 2230 card in there and have it work. The ones tested so far that are verified to work fine is the internal Sandisk Series X SSDs, and the WD CH SN530 (and to note, it's NOT the same as this, as that has PC as a prefix instead of CH), which is another SKU used on the Seriex X and, interestingly, on Surface devices as well. Anything else and it won't detect it as a valid expansion card.

You are correct.

4K Gamer Pro and an Ultra Wide 4k Monitor to compliment my Mclassic.

DO NOT BUY if this is RED and is called the 4k Gamer + rather than Pro, it's not the same, it rarely works, and lacks all the features of the Pro.

I recently bought a ukulele and I've already learned how to play a few songs on it and it's been really fun.

Never seen a phone like that before.

Never seen a phone like that before.

I've seen a similar phone in Japan where you could invert the screen, but I don't remember there being a second screen. That was in 2008 or so.

Japan is always coming up with some very creative ideas these days.

I had a phone like that while living there. I think the main purpose for having that feature was to send video duringa conference call. It was a flip phone though. I think I still have it.
