    I have plenty of backups for my desktop, but in the past have
    also found it could be useful, or helpful for diagnostics, when
    disaster struck, to be able to pull out a disk and connect it via
    a USB adaptor to a laptop.

    Now that my operating system lives on this:

    WD Black SN850X 1TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 Gen4 x4 NVMe SSD

    I have no idea if such a thing is possible.

    Comments?

    Sure. I have a couple of these:

    And they seem to be okay.

    I have one of these which I keep a 'spare' M.2 NVMe SSD in, it gets a
    bit warm, but the probably all do anyway. it's tool-less case slides
    open, and instead of screw to hold M.2 it has a rubber plug.
