OK, so this is more of an accessory than the drive itself. Bit weird but meh. I thought it was built in and the SSD internal.
Imagine running out of scent, so you have to open up your pc and there's just oil everywhere
Yes, I imagine it would have to be externally connected not only for anyone to even bother to mess with it, but for it to even work with most computers. On my board the NVME slots are underneath a removable heat spreader plate which is itself underneath the area where the GPU overhangs its slot. There's no way this would fit, and even if it did it'd require significant disassembly every time you wanted to touch it.
I imagine the majority of M.2 form factor SSDs are in space constrained locations where doing anything other than gluing a couple of millimeters thick heatsink to them is out of the question, and oftentimes not even that.
Yikes forever, on multiple fronts with this thing.
