Upcycling an NES Game Cartridge

To convert an NES cartridge into an External SSD

I have found that there are two specific components with varying costs that affect the overall project cost. These are the cost of the SSD, which primarily varies by capacity (a 500GB module is far cheaper than a 2TB module), and the cost of the cartridge (between $15 and $25 on eBay). Obviously, this project becomes far more economical if you already have these resources available.
