Do you mean an internal ssd instead of or along side of a disc drive? As far as I know there is no way to mount any other type of storage to the disc drive connection... Otherwise, an entirely internal ssd would have to be converted to usb and soldered to one of the usb ports, so you're really...

This is hype, that direct drive board is smaller than I ever expected! We are truly in the golden age of wii modding

You can get all kinds of these 5v thin blower fans from laptops, if you don't have any junk laptops you can gut just go on ebay and type laptop fan, heres one example https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Genuine-Chromebook-11-Laptop-CPU-Cooling-Fan-M46X2-0M46X2/264384836413 You may have to run it off...

yall know about this video? @Gman Saw it and was having flashbacks to the time @jefflongo broke bitbuilt... Pretty positive review, except for linus not knowing a good dpad from his left earlobe

yup I can confirm, will do

Internals? :awesome:

When I was small the world was such a strange place

Sorry dude, only English on this forum

What drives are you using? There's a list of compatible ones here https://bitbuilt.net/forums/index.php?threads/portablizemii-compatible-usb-drives.2608/

Also the wifi antenna wire is shielded

A 6-layer draws quite a bit more power and therefore needs more cooling, so a 4-layer is highly recommended and will greatly increase the usability of the portable. The 4-layer is not much harder than the 6 to trim, only the bluetooth relocation comes to mind where you need to scratch off solder...

What temperature are you using, and an iron or hot air? Hot air makes it so much easier, but I've got a couple if you really want to buy.
