PCIE x8 on the 16

Is there anything you can do with the x8 in the expansion bay? Could I add a card to support an additional M.2 drive?

Framework has released schematics on GitHub for a card to allow for installing two additional M.2 drives in the expansion bay shell. IIRC they've hinted about plans to put that into production later this year.

Thanks for commenting; I was trying to find this thread again and couldn't.

and later this year, Framework will ship a module you can stick inside the Expansion Bay Shell that adds two additional M.2 2280-or-less length SSD slots and “won’t be especially expensive.”
