TL;DW: The video doesn't show how they did this "hack".

A lot of it is spent talking about how the battery won't charge or the laptop won't boot if this removable storage is removed.

It seems like they've just made a board to route all the NAND modules' pins to a connector, and then another board to go back again. There don't seem to be any electronics on the boards other than the modules and a few resistors.

Probably a BGA footprint on the holder board. So PCB-PCB bond. So much nope in that!

I saw as more of a "look, this can be done without impacting speed - Apple, just do it" kind of video. Which is why I thought they didn't speak to the how.
