Dell EMC NVME Drives

[hairytoez]

We had a pile of these at work that had been pulled from working systems. Boss said grab a few. I've been out of the loop on this style of NVME drives. Is there an enclosure or adapter that can make use of these?

Link to specs

Aren't these EMC drives usually 520-bit?

According to this it is a PCIe 4.0 x4 nvme drive, likely in a carrier with one or two U.2 connector(s). Even used they are 800-900 so nice gift from your boss!

That's the connector. I figured it was u.2 after some digging.

then you just need an adapter like i first linked.
edit: and if you dont mind losing a bit of speed you can get 3.0 dual and quad cards
