How can I recover data from a crashed drive on my MacBook Pro?

Hi guys.

I´m from Sweden and my technical english is not very good, but i will try to explain.

I´m looking for a way to read and distract the information from my crashed drive.

Stupid me didn´t have a back-up for the first time i ages..

I can dissasseble the laptop but i don´t know what to use to do so, there is a jungle out there of different M2 types.

Is there a reader, a external enclosure or something to help me?

Best regards

// Janne

Aah, now i see what you mean.

MacBook Air 15" is my new laptop, bought it 2 days ago, awsome machine..Luv it!

This subject is an old MacBook Pro late 2013 which crashed during update.

That´s what i need help with.

Sorry if i was vague.

I have never said that!

Sure about that? This is what is showing on your post right now.

Yes, you need an enclosure like this one for Apple's proprietary NVMe: https://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/MAU3ENP1AW/
