Recently I purchased an SSD to upgrade my laptop, an ASUS TUF A15 with an Nvidia GTX 1650ti and I found out that it only has one ssd slot just when I opened it up. I also found out that I have a sata cable that can connect to my laptop internally. Are there any internal cases that can be used to convert my nvme m.2 m key ssd to sata?
I tried to find something online and I couldn't find anything. Maybe you guys know something that can work.

Also, if there aren't any adapters for this purpose, what are the downsides of having an adapter that can turn one m.2 slot into two slots?

Edit: I found this online, but I don't know if I can trust it: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001450852776.html?pdp_npi=2%40dis!RON!RON 53.77!RON 45.71!!!!!%40210312ea16775371405018988eb75c!12000016162793009!btf&_t=pvid:4b79f457-2fef-4bb1-9c4d-6a156913be71&afTraceInfo=1005001450852776__pc__pcBridgePPC__xxxxxx__1677537140&spm=a2g0o.ppclist.product.mainProduct

PCIE M.2 Drives(Nvme) cannot be converted to sata, if it were a sata M.2 drive there would be a way. Unfortunately, you would need to either return the Nvme drive and order a sata 2.5" SSD to go in the SSD bay or replace your current Nvme drive with the new one, which if they're both the same size would be pretty pointless. I would just return the Nvme.
