Solution to access M.2 files

[gabrielkfr]

Hi I have a M.2 SSD that I want to access files from, however my B450 board only has 1 slot and it's already used, what would be an alternative way to access the files? Do I need to buy a converter or something? Would prefer not to spend on an enclosure as it would just be a one time access

u can always swop out e existing ssd then boot up with a usb linux stick to copy e files out.

You can get USB-C enclosures. The Orico, Silverstone and Sabrent ones are good

PCIe card if u have slots, usb-c if no slot.

Shopee cheaper. Need to watch out if the M.2 is M.2 SATA or M.2 NVMe.
