pci-express m.2 ssd enclosure

[ganesh]

Any place in town where I can pick one of these up ?
All the enclosures that I am finding local are SATA based.
I just need one so that I can switch the SSD on my laptop.
TIA

No?

EDIT: My bad, didn't see the PCI-E part since it's only in the title.

Not in town but 2 day shipping doesn't seem too bad, and you can return it for free if it doesn't perform as you want:

Yeah. I saw newegg also has some in stock.
The process of switching the SSD on my XPS is becoming a PITA. I didn't want to do a fresh install of the windows, but more and more it looks like that will be the easiest route.

Are you switching it out because you got a bad SSD? I did notice on the newest XPS 15's they are using garbage Lite-ON SSDs in the 128GB models and better-but-not-great Hynix units in the 512GB+ models. Others use the Samsung 961 which is much better - Dell has used them in the past too, but they don't publish the SSD manufacturer so it can be a bit of a crap shoot on the XPS'.

I currently have a 256gb Toshiba SSD on mine and it is at 90%. So I picked up a Samsung 970 Pro 512.
I thought I could simply do a image and restore it. But it is not as simple as I thought.

What issue are you having? Should be simple enough. I do images all the time. Either disk to disk or image up to the LAN, back down to the new disk.

I thought I should be able to do a disk to jump drive using Power ISO and then boot it using the jump drive. But I can't seem to do that. May be I am doing something wrong.
In order to do the Samsung Magician to do a Disk to Disk I need an enclosure.
