M.2 NVME Exclosure help

[Pittman90]

I need to back up data from my NVME M.2 drive from my Blade and I can't find an enclosure that supports it. I bought one but it is only a B key config and I need the M key, if you know of any M key style external enclosures that would be very helpful as i need it asap. Thanks!

as far as i know and i searched the crap out of it no one makes an external nvme enclosure i ended up just buying one that was for sata m.2

Why can't you just plug an external drive into your USB port and then back up the SSD...?

I don't know about external enclosures for M.2 drives but if all you need to do is back up data that's on it then you can buy PCI_e daughter boards that you install the drive on then install in a PCI_e slot.

They don't make them.  I'm fairly certain that it would only work on a Thunderbolt connection anyway.  The NVMe protocol runs on a PCIe interface (as opposed to AHCI, which runs on a SATA interface).

If you have a desktop,this is your best bet https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=1Z5-0018-00020&cm_re=m.2_adapter-_-1Z5-0018-00020-_-Product
Remove the m.2 drive from laptop,plug it into the adapter,then plug it into the mobo and back up the data.

yeah except it doesnt fit, Sata uses the B key style and NVME uses the M key style

Create a bootable USB drive, then copy everything over.

Did you do the basic troubleshooting steps or check if ram is the problem?

Then you will need another laptop or PC that has an M.2 slot.
