Comment on Is this an accurate diagram?

  Thank you for your input! I can’t tell if the diagram was made poorly or if M.2 does use staggered pins.

    I’m not entirely sure myself with current tech, but when we got our first external adapter for SSD drives for MacBooks, the connector was made so sloppy that you’d literally have to manually make sure it was aligned properly in the slot.

    There was like half a millimeter of slop in the slot where if you inserted it incorrectly, everything would lose its magic smoke…

      You seem to love spreading misinformation on the web. Why are you commenting 4 times if you are not familiar with the topic?

      This is an m.2 connector. You have to secure it with a screw on the other side. It’s nearly impossible to mess it up.

      Apple frequently uses proprietary connectors, I don’t know which one you are reffering to. I won’t guess because I’m not very familiar with all apple connectors.

      You don’t have to comment on a topic if you are not familiar with. Please stop.

        Why is the diagram incomplete? It shows both sides of the socket, but only one side of the card. Are the pins really staggered like that?

        I never trust incomplete diagrams, and I’m not finding a proper diagram that shows both sides to confirm or deny anything.
