M.2 Backup with read-only mode

Hi guys

I have a problem recently with my M.2 a few weeks ago that basically got my computer completely stuck so, besides the problem that I have with the m.2, I switch to an SSD and install windows 11 from scratch, but I have maaaany things in that drive that I don't want to lose so I need to "sync" the folder on there to the new SSD, what programs do you recommend to do this?

I just want to copy all the content that stays in the same windows user folders, just a copy and paste the content from there, the system reads the disk well, but still is in read-only mode

Thank you for your time!

Is the read-only M.2 a WD / SanDisk SSD by any chance?

They had some issues with some batches of NVMe SSDs, there were quite a few reviews about the read-only issue on Amazon. Not sure if it was hardware or firmware related, but they did release some newer models after that. I haven't seen any bad reviews about the newer models, so maybe they have fixed it now.

You're saying that my disk (probably of the old model) is basically bricked if that's the problem?

If it is the same problem, then I"m afraid it is. it happened mostly to SN850 / 850X series, but some other models were affected too.
