My laptop was not working. Before sending it for repair, I decided to remove the hard drive (M2 SSD) and back it up as the manufacturer said they would reimage it


So I bought a caddy, put the SSD into it and tried to read it but cannot read it. Below is the output from dmesg

Is there anyone who might be able to tell me what those mean? It appears that there are errors but at the end it seems to recognise it as a disk


I had never used that caddy before. I don't know now what to do. Whether to try to buy a different caddy or to contact a specialist to try to recover the data. There is some data on that disk that I really want to keep

Most caddies have a small USB to SATA converter module inside them, and this can cause problems sometimes, as HDD/SSDs may require reformatting before they can be used in the caddy. Return your SSD back to its original location, and backup from there.


However, without knowing more about your failure mode, I can recommend performing a fsck on the file system to see if it can find errors and repair them.



  • boot to a Ubuntu Live DVD/USB in “Try Ubuntu” mode

  • open a terminal window by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T

  • type sudo fdisk -l

  • identify the /dev/sdXX device name for your "Linux Filesystem"

  • type sudo fsck -f /dev/sdXX, replacing sdXX with the number you found earlier

  • repeat the fsck command if there were errors

  • type reboot


Update #1:


User re-seated the M.2 module in the caddy, and now the M.2 is seen properly, and the user is performing backups before sending laptop in for repairs.
