Posting this here, just in case someone has a better idea (:D). I need to install an SSD on my pi 5. I made a custom case for the raspberry and it doesn't make sense to get an ssd shield, as it would cover the fan (photo below)

Is it a good idea, in your opinion, to get something like this usb NVMe adapter, and resolder it to make an "L" shape?

So, in your experience, is it a possible solution to just resolder this part, making a 90° angle?

I didn't know these were a thing
