Pure coincidence… I sticked that same antenna on a the metal enclosure from an HDMI switch and look,
So the groundplane is very important for the swr

mSATA SSD Storage Expansion Board for Raspberry Pi
bought this 120GB msata - read 520 MB/s, write 320 MB/s
specs
NL shop
These mSATA to USB adapter boards for Raspberry Pi still require a USB cable for it’s IO interface (and power). Although the model shown above has a compact USB to USB (PCB) adapter, many of these solutions require an external USB to USB cable (and €50 is rather expensive for 120GB when compared to below solution).
A regular cheap(er) 2.5" SATA SSD 120GB with USB 2.0 to SATA adapter can be had for around €20 (240GB for around €30). Works just as well. Although you will need to find a solution for mounting the 2.5" SSD. (I have one taped onto a Raspberry Pi enclosure which hangs in the meter cupboard.)
For more compact single enclosure solutions the SSD PCB can be removed from its 2.5" drive enclosure (which will void warranty) and use a PCB-only USB to SATA adapter with a small USB cable.

no, found it 
but you’re right, it can be done cheaper of course but this HW is for a ‘special’ project

With solution for mounting I had something different in mind than ‘putting it somewhere on a table’.

That are about 3024 pieces.
Took a large bite out of my hobbybudget savings yesterday. For years I have been working with SMD parts on various projects but a lose BME280 was to small for me to handle with my Weller soldering iron. So went to my local electronics store and bought this Velleman SMD hot air rework station.
Removed the BME280 sensor cleaned the pads and applied fresh solder (don’t have the SMD solder paste yet), a few brushes of hot air and the sensor was mounted again.
A few hundred samples where made with the refurbished BME280 and matched with a reference BME280 and there where no shocking difference in measurement values.
Think I should have bought a hot air station years ago

did you replace a few hundred smd BME280 's … ?
