Look at me everybody. I paid extra for something I didn't need and it didn't work out.
I got a Windows crash, then accessed one more time and now my new OS install on a different drive won't recognize the M.2 drive at all. Any way to try and recover some files since there's no external enclosure for NVMe drives?
Which would be the best for my purpose though? Booting a Linux distro off of a USB drive and trying to access files on the M.2?
If it makes anyone feel better, instead of buying yet another SSD I re-installed Windows onto an old 60 gig drive and now there's only 8 gigs free so that will suck soon.
Yes, I use a 40% keyboard and have an iPhone SE.

Meant to say "won't." It's hard to type well when you're eating with one hand.

>Booting a Linux distro off of a USB drive and trying to access files on the M.2? It should work, Linux will let your copy files off your m.2 SSD even if Windows doesn't boot.

m.2 pcie storage starts at skylake architecture anything below that requires some advance config shit

I tried Slax which was really interesting to play around with. Unfortunately it did not appear to recognize anything on the M.2 drive.
I will try again tomorrow with the Terminal on Slax. Maybe I will try another Linux distro as well. It is interesting to play around with and explore.
Sure, the drive will be replaced under warranty but I clearly don't really need it and another will likely fail again. Again, memed and burned, all my fault.

Hah try working with them on HP zbook g2 series laptops. in 1 year about 50% failure rate. Oh same data COULD possibly be recovered, but yeah.. encryption is standard over whole fleet. Though encryption was my call, still better to have it. Replaced them all with caddys and cheapo $45 sandisk 2.5 SSD drives. No issues since, completely rock solid. Got a stack of m.2s in a drawer.
