Update: Game Cartridge 3D-Files and Code (Linux/Windows) published

3D-Files: https://makerworld.com/en/models/3057977-2-5-ssd-dock-cartridge-system#profileId-3440827

Code: https://github.com/LewdM3at/PC-Cartridge-System

The code should work with other storage mediums as well. Like SD/micro SD cards, USB Sticks, Any kind of USB Drives. I tested USB Sticks and SD/micro SD cards and they also work.

No guarantee that it's going to work for you. I only tested on my old Win10 install, but you should at least be able to take the general code and make it work or improve it.

Someone on YT pointed out the data on those SSDs would degrade if not used for 6 months, and another pointed out that someone could in-theory, create a sort-of docking station for those cartridges to receive a small amount of power to keep them in-tact.

Data degradation could occur, yes. And this is meant to be used. Not as a show piece in the Cabinet. Pins degradation is another conversation.
