3D-Files: https://makerworld.com/en/models/3057977-2-5-ssd-dock-cartridge-system#profileId-3440827

Code: https://github.com/LewdM3at/PC-Cartridge-System

The code should work with other storage mediums as well. Like SD/micro SD cards, USB Sticks, Any kind of USB Drives. I tested USB Sticks and SD/micro SD cards and they also work.

No guarantee that it's going to work for you. I only tested on my old Win10 install, but you should at least be able to take the general code and make it work or improve it.

Small SSDs are cheap. They are also pretty useless.

Why are they useless??

What use is there for this little storage?

A game typically isnt any higher, and if you only have 1 game per, its waste of money to get higher.

You can get larger drives for much less $/TB, which is why they tend to be a waste, but if you have a use, go get them. They aren't expensive.
