it’s cool that you can even do that. i have a spare m2 slot and i found it for basically free too.
i have zero need for that but i might just do this.

I only tested with those applications, but I could benchmark using my ssd vs the drive tomorrow or later. Download a RAM heavy game or something. Do you have a recommendation?

I used the built-in SSD on a corpo Macbook circa 2019 to double the “RAM” so I can fit the whole stack we worked on. Worked fine. Not fast but fine. These days it’s standard practice at work to use swap on NVMe to do AOSP system image builds. That was standard even before the RAM shortage. The corpo is cheap.
