Lenovo Yoga 2 Ideapad - help needed with SSD "drive"

I'm assuming that you have not been able to connect it to a write blocker due to the connector.

I am basing my understanding of the SSD drive from this tear down http//www.myfixguide.com/manual/lenovo-ideapad-yoga-2-pro-disassembly/

So if the hard drive looks like the one from the tear down

Then you need an mSATA adapter. Here is a link to a Tableau one - https://www.guidancesoftware.com/products/Pages/tableau/products/drive-adapters/tda3-1.aspx

Then you can just use your normal write blocker.

Thank you for the suggestion! The SSD drive has a different connector than mSATA - actually has 3 endpoints. Do you know of any adapter for this kind of interface? Looks like this (sorry - I'm new here and can't figure out how to insert a picture haha)

It's a M.2 inrterface

I don't think that any "special" adapter is needed, *any* (example) should do

You can buy this one

Maybe you could try with the ZTC M.2/mSata Dual SSD to Sata

Thank you all very much for your help! I will attempt to purchase an adapter and let you know how it goes. I appreciate the quick and helpful input!!! D
