[SOLVED]:Copying Files From M2 Drive To Laptop

pinkfloydian

I have an M2 drive in my desktop.

What hardware do I need so that I can remove it from the desktop and connect it to my laptop(USB) for copying files to the laptop.

I realise there are other ways to copy from a desktop to a laptop, but this is a specific requirement.

You can easily get USB adapters for M.2 SSD's but be careful as there are different ones depending on whether it's a SATA or NVMe drive. Amazon is as good a place as any to start looking.

It's an NVMe drive.

Actually on a closer look it appears there are also adapters that do both NVMe and SATA.
