Question - SSD Reader recommendation please

[luclinjunkie]

Howdy guys. Wanting to come back to play, but my laptop MB crapped out. I'm having trouble finding an SSD Reader. I am going to include pictures of it, looking for a cheap recommended reader.

Oops. They had yet to load.

that's an m.2 SSD so if you're looking for an external reader you just need something like "external m.2 reader"

that should fit in a PCI-e x1 slot, if your going to a tower.. and its not terribly old MB.

Many thanks y'all!

You're looking for something like this. They're referred to as NVMe Enclosures.

Update, got a reader and copied / brought over files. Everything is good.

Didn't happen to be one of those HP laptops? I had one five months and the motherboard smoked. Bought another one and switched out the ssd stick and sent it back to HP under warranty. Getting it back Tuesday and I will switch the ssd back and return the one I just bought within the 30 days.

It was an MSI laptop. I had nothing but trouble with it to be honest. I had wanted a gaming laptop and I did a "how hot does it get" test in the store. The only one I didn't need oven mitts for was the MSI. It was the shortest life of my laptops, and I burn through them.
