Got one on the way to see if I can turn a TMM into a firewall.

I did spot it on Ali. One of the buyers comments was that it runs very hot and needs a heatsink.

I ordered a couple, and they arrived today.

The one I've installed isn't running hot (everything on the m.2 board is cold to the touch after running for several hours).

The 10 pin connector is quite tall - you need 2cm minimum clearance above the m.2 slot.

It came with high- and low-profile brackets.
If you're like me, running the cable through a hole you drilled in the back of your TMM, then the thick outer layer on the cable and the molded plastic socket at the end are pretty ideal.
