I have an m2 ssd (1TB) which seems to have been corrupted somehow and I'd like to recover the data on it. I've bought a little usb m2 reader thing to see if my laptop could read it and it can't, disk management is asking to initialise it, which I haven't done. I've tried running crystaldiskinfo, photorec, dmde, recuva and none of these seem to see the drive, so I can't get any info from it. Any advice on how to proceed from here would be greatly appreciated. I may have used some of the software mentioned incorrectly for the problem as well, I don't really know what I'm doing.

It's a sabrent rocket ssd, I have no (useable) desktop pc to test it with, and the laptop I am using is running ARM windows if that impacts anything. The software mentioned above all recognise the laptop's internal hdd. Happy to provide any further info that may be of help!

Thank you!!

Recently the temperature warning light came on, and an inspection of the coolant reservoir showed it below the minimum line. When this first happened I planned to buy some coolant and top it up, and if the issue persisted then I would take it to a garage. My car has G13 written on the side of the reservoir, indicating that's the type of coolant it uses. I walked to Halfords and spoke to the man behind the counter who said I should get G40 (they had no G13), as that will work in my car, and when I asked him if I can top it up with G40 he said yes. Now I've got a jug of G40 and some research says that I can't mix the two coolants safely, so I'm not sure what to do.

Should I return the G40, and find a nearby garage to take it to (if I can even safely drive it a short distance)? or top up the coolant and then get it entirely replaced? or top it up and forget about it unless it comes back?
