SSD to USB needed
Hi. I have a dell inspiron 7420 that stopped working. I removed the SSD to read the data but the SSD removed from the system does not fit any SSD to USB physically that I can find. Can someone recommend where I can buy an SSD to USB that will fit?

Hello, here is suggestion of an adapter for NVMe SSD to USB, which supports multi size SSD, mainly 2230 and 2280.
If you still have problem with fitment, attaching a picture of your current SSD for proper solution.

I hate to be negative here, but your SSD is most likely encrypted with Windows Bitlocker, which is now an automatic process upon setting up Windows for the first time. Unless you have your encryption key on hand (the vast majority of users do not) or if you previously turned off encryption, you will not be able to retrieve your files using another computer.

@Kflash08 I have all my bitlocker keys printed out so that's not a problem.
