1. You didn't say what type of drive you have. I'm not familiar with your model, so find out your type of drive. e.g. 2.5" SATA, M.2 SATA, M.2 NVMe. 2. I suggest that you remove the drive, so you can determine what type it is. 3. You can buy an external drive adapter (sort of like what you linked) or an external drive enclosure. You must get one that is compatible with your type of drive. For example, this enclosure accommodates M.2 SATA or M.2 NVMe. I'm not recommending that particular enclosure, it's just an example. You would connect the adapter or enclosure to a USB port on the laptop and transfer your files from the old drive to the laptop drive. 4. Or, if your laptop has a spare drive bay that can accept your drive, you could install the drive into the laptop in order to transfer your files from that old drive to the laptop drive. Whenever touching components or working inside a computer, wear a grounded wrist strap, also called anti-static wrist strap, ESD wrist strap, or ground bracelet. It's a cheap and sensible precaution. Rest the laptop on an anti-static mat or at least a reasonable alternative such as corrugated cardboard. (Repeatedly touching a metal case part is not sufficient mitigation with modern components.)
Good day,My Optiplex 9020 died successfully and won't boot any more (stuck on Dell logo)I do not hope to reanimate him, but do hope to get data out of the Optiplex' internal SSDSince Dell still powers on somehow, and CPU fan is spinning, I suppose SSD gets some power too, so I wonder if I buy some cheap cable like this one - would that be ok to connect Optiplex SSD to my laptop and read/copy data?This cable has 2 USB ports, probably second one is for power? Then, I won't need to keep my SSD powered by Dell desktop, at all?Or do I need completely other cable. I am not very keen, in this stuff.Thanks!!
Transfer data from Optiplex' SSD to laptop
