Henryford Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 I want to create an external SSD enclosure using a SSD from a broken laptop. The laptop spec says it is a PCLe NVME SSD but the SSD has 2 gaps in the pins (see photo) which i thought indicated it was a SATA SSD. I am not sure what enclosure to buy, one for SATA or NVME, which i think are incompatible. Any advice please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamb00ler Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 (edited) It's an M.2 interface: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M.2 Here's the specs: Edited February 28, 2022 by gamb00ler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henryford Posted February 28, 2022 Author Share Posted February 28, 2022 Thanks for the fast reply. So it's a NVME SSD. It was just the 2 gaps in the pins that gave me some doubt as videos on the web show NVME SSDs as having only one gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure that what you buy accepts the M.2 connection and the 22 X 80 size. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
