Raspberry Pi: Add an M.2 2280 NVMe drive to the Raspberry Pi 4 for under US$25

So click bait headline.
Should read add USB 3 nvme adaptor for 5x the price of AliExpress.

Except it is not though is it?

"USB 3 nvme adaptor" returns the below. There are no equivalent adaptors that cost US$4.79 on AliExpress, unless I'm mistaken?

I got a pair of boards ordered last week cost me £6.50 each including postage
So its possible

I run a Pi3B+ with a 128 gb m.2 drive in an Element14 case and provided hat, no sd card and very happy with it, i ran originally to boot from sd card but you end up with double the drives, directories. This is the type solution im looking for my Pi4.

Sadly you conveniently forgot to mention that NONE of these adapters (not even with the low-energy Realtek chipset) currently work stable on the PI4b. If you only have a tiny amount of low volume transfers in your pi project, maybe you'll get lucky, but try to write 1TB in one go and you'll quickly see immediately that the connection is unreliable.
Pretending this is a thing people should do is absolutely reckless!
There's a reason why the only of-the-shelf M.2 board out there only supports M2 SSDs.
