Reads hard drives for recovery

Best device to recover files from corrupted harddrives for my company

Total waste of time and money.

This WILL NOT work for NVMe m.2 drives. Im lucky it didnt burn up my 970 EVO 2 TB finding out. The connector was tight but it went in. Regardless, it will not work for NVMe.

See any errors on this page?

question

is this compatible with NVMe drives (eg. Samsung 950 Pro)?
Asked by: Cameron
Mine had too tight/ imprecise a connector to work with the only NVMe drive I had available to try. I had a similar situation with a similar device (an M.2 USB adapter) so these products may need more time to be perfected.

Asked by: Mahmoud
No, the SAT2M2NGFF25 is designed to work with SATA M.2 SSDs, not NVMe M.2 SSDs. Atha, StarTech.com Support

question

this adapter does not work for me Samsung 512GB 960 PRO M.2 Internal SSD.Any recommendation?
Asked by: Jose Eligio L.
The Samsung 512GB 960 PRO M.2 Internal SSD uses the NVME protocol so it will not be compatible with M.2 SATA based SSD enclosures like the startech B&H # STT2M2NGFF25. At this time, we don't have any internal adapters that would be compatible with a Samsung 960 Pro M.2 NVME SSD.
