Question M.2 swappable solution (not need for hot swap)

[Star2222]

Hi,
on a PC used for testing of custom electronics I am planning to have the main M.2 drive swapped relatively often. But when swapping M.2 main C drive multiple times it might weaken the contacts.

So I was wondering, if there is a way to make an M.2 easily swappable?

It does not need to be an external solution (I can keep the PC open on the desk while working on it). So perhaps some middle card that at worst, if damaged, I just replace that one.

Thank you as always

why do you need to swap the M.2 often?

I would definitely do something like a removeable drive. That way you aren't putting wear and tear on the M.2 slot, they have a limited number of insertions.

As an example:

Something like this perhaps.
