TSMikeW said: It's an NVME drive, it's M key. Do you have USB C available and were any of the enclosures you tested USB C NVME enclosures?Yes, I've tried an NVME enclosure, as I mentioned toward the end of the post. It had USB-c out, and I tried using multiple cables to connect to usb-c ports and usb-a ports alike. Nada. Also when I looked online, I found these pieces of information, explaining why this model isn't standard NVME: https://www.compuram.de/documents/datasheet/SM951_M.2_SSD_Spec_1.0_General(AHCI).pdf (nowhere here does it say NVME, but AHCI driver does return a result)https://www.anandtech.com/show/9396/samsung-sm951-nvme-256gb-pcie-ssd-review (between the pictures of the NUC and the drives' connectors, it details the differences between the AHCI and NVME model numbers)

Well, not quite an answer, as I knew this from the start. I still can't find any enclosures for it, oddly. Motherboards that support it, sure, but not external adapters or enclosures.
