I was planning to use an external M.2 enclosure with a spare Nvme drive (HP EX900) but it doesn't recognize the drive (tested in 4 computers, USB2, USB3, powered USB3 hub).
I am using the USB-A plug but I did try the USB-C plug on one computer.

I tried another drive (Kingston SNVS500G) and it works on the USB-A plug.
The HP just says it is 3.3V (no amps specified).
The Kingston says it is 3.3V and 1A.
The HP drive used to work in a computer but it could be dead or it could be power related.

Would an M.2 Sata drive use less power that an Nvme drive?
