After replacing a faulty optical drive on my Wii, I opted to install an m.2 nvme SSD and use it for game storage. 

The SSD fits in a small 12x28x104mm case that connects the drive to the Wii via USB. There are several such enclosures, i used this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FCRZ5Z5Whttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FCRZ5Z5W – others may fit too, but in case you need to make changes, the openscad file is included. 

Use a standard USB-C to USB-A cable; the USB-C end should fit through the opening in the bottom, so you can connect the drive via the cable slot in the base up to the Wii's USB port (closest to the edge).

Since the NVME drive can get hot, i added cooling slots at the bottom that try to let air flow around the drive enclosure, as well as cooling holes in the wii logo.
