GoKawiilGuide: Repurpose old laptop SSDs as external drives via USB enclosures
A guide outlines how to reuse a solid-state drive removed from an old or upgraded laptop by placing it into an external enclosure, turning it into a fast USB storage device. It notes that removal is only possible on laptops where the SSD isn't soldered to the logic board, as is common with Apple's MacBooks, and that buyers need an enclosure matching their drive's form factor, either 2.5-inch SATA or M.2 NVMe.
