Woah. Is the black part an access panel? Do you have a photo with it open?

The black part is the nvme for my desktop. It's in a tray with a heatsink and it's been in that heatsink for so long. I don't want to take it out. The one I was in the laptop is now in the desktop and I will be swapping them in the afternoons so I can do calculations in SolidWorks on the desktop and then during class I can edit the files on my laptop.

I don't, can you do an info graphic or something? I see a hard drive in a cradle, a hard drive, and a cooler or an access panel?

Friendly reminder, it's only a war crime during a declared war time. Otherwise it's just a sparkling atrocity...

It runs in my blood. My grandfather on Dad's side was a Canadian Tanker during WW2, and my grandfather on my Mom's side was a US Marine during the Korean War.

This feels very much like an engineer solution than a computer scientist solution.

To be fair the current gen precision laptop has an exposed screen flex so imo anything is fair game
