Help connecting an Intel M.2 to a laptop

I've acquired an Intel M.2 SSD with a model # of SSDSCKJF240A5L. I bought a Sabrent M.2 SSD to 2.5-Inch SATA III Aluminum Enclosure Adapter and placed it inside, and then I put it in my Dell Latitude laptop. The UEFI of the laptop recognizes the drive (it sees the serial number), but won't list it as a boot device. If I attach it to Windows with a SATA-to-USB adapter it doesn't show up at all. Any ideas?

Well it suddenly started working. I was able to format it and add files to it. Doesn't make any sense why it would suddenly just start working but there it is. Thanks for your help!

Hello hammiesink,

Perhaps the drive wasn't making proper contact with the M.2 slot inside? Regardless, we're glad to hear the issue has been resolved.If there's anything else we can help you with, do let us know.Best regards,Carlos A.
