I need to access all the file on my broken laptop, I think ssd type is m.2 pcie, I open up the laptop and take out the ssd. Is a ssd connector what I need to buy? I don't know the technical term here, basically I need to access the file store in the ssd and import into my other pc via usb port
Can you post a photo so we are sure were giving correct advice. If its sata a enclosure with usb connection and sata will be needed unless you want to put it in a pc as second drive
This is the ssd: http://images.tweaktown.com/content/...eview_full.jpg
I need to access the file in this ssd without putting it into another computer, what do I need to do
There are adapters for attaching a "standard" SATA drive to a USB port on a computer but I've not yet seen one for your type drive. You might check with Computer Accessories Including Cables, Power Cords, and Tools - Cyberguys.com, they carry some things not commonly thought of.
you'd need a m.2 SSD to USB adapter:
Amazon.com: Sintech M.2(NGFF) B-M KEY Dual Notch SATA SSD to USB 3.0 Adapter card: Computers Accessories
Your Amazon Sintech suggestion has discrepancies:
The image shows what appears to be M.2 2242 M Key single notch
While the spec says "B+M dual notch only"
The OP has posted a picture of the 2280 M Key single notch
(o) You can measure the width in his picture and compare it to the length which is almost 4 times the width - his picture is of a 2280
(o) You can count 5 pins in the small card edge connector indicating M Key (single notch)
That Sintech model won't work if the OP has what is in the picture he posted.
