![]() mPCIe is what we’ve been using for all these years, and it gradually became a mish-mash of hardly-compatible pinouts. You can genuinely appreciate the M.2 standard once you start looking into it, especially if you have worked with mPCIe devices for some amount of time. In part 2, I will show you how to build your own M.2 cards and card-accepting devices, too! Well Thought-Out, Mostly Today, I’ll show you the M.2 devices you will encounter in the wild, and teach you what you need to know to make use of them. Let’s instead look at M.2 real-world use. If you ever searched the Web trying to understand what makes M.2 tick, you might’ve found one of the many confusing articles which just transcribe stuff out of the M.2 specification PDF, and make things look more complicated than they actually are. I have found that the M.2 standard is quite accessible and also very hackable, and I would like to demonstrate that to you. Nowadays, using M.2 is one of the most viable ways for adding new features to your laptop. Many of our laptops contain M.2 WiFi cards, the consumer-oriented WWAN cards now come in M.2, and every now and then we see M.2 cards that defy our expectations. If you’re buying an SSD today, it’s most likely an M.2 one. You’ve seen M.2 cards in modern laptops already.
