A 2230 2TB drive costs as much as a 4TB 2280 drive but upgrading to a 2280 comes with the price of voiding your warranty. For me, it's worth it, for others not so much(warranty for micro SD slot and potential risks of other parts breaking). I am a tech enthusiast, and i like to yolo, so if you want to yolo with me, then this is the guide for you.

Why you should consider doing this:
-The cloning tool is free so you don't have to worry about signing up
-You don't want to do a fresh install(Asus Recovery/Windows 11 Bootable Drive)
-Max size for 2230 that I've seen is 2TB. The NVME in this video is 4TB
-2230s are almost 2x the price per TB.
-AAA games are getting ridiculously big(getting close to 100GB per AAA game). Ark with mods and all DLCs can go up to 400GB+
-You're tired of uninstalling and reinstalling games
-You won't need a Micro SD card if you have a massive single drive
-You can achieve higher transfer speeds(probably not a big plus, but a plus nonetheless)
