This is a great way to divide a larger hard drive (say 1 TB) into two smaller (500 GB) drives.

Ahh, yes. Physical partitioning
The only thing better than logical partitioning
Metaphysical partitioning
Once you make it a circle, your storage space becomes infinite!
The size of the actual drive doesn't match the size in the OS screenshot below. For shame, OP.
Physical partitioning, as mentioned below
The fuck is this OP?
Picture shows 500gb drive - 2/10 would not save
He only got the part to the right (199GB) the left part is broken off.
He said it fit. He never said the OS mounted it; which it wouldn't given that it has neither a data nor a power connection.
This hurts me so much.

off-topic but you actually can cut your M.2 SSD so that it fits in a WWAN slot for example (source: guide from r/thinkpad)
Well, you can cut almost anything to fit almost anywhere.
I cut an old mid range business machine's case to fit a 1060 6GB hand-me-down.
Yeah...I was going to say if the one on the image had been broken on the other side maybe it could still work. Not in this case tough.
