Nope, the wire simply doesn't exist. Use U.2 case instead.

Notice the connector on the case, it is different.

There is also USB 3.0/3.1 to M.2 PCIE too.

The SSD will run burning hot and data lost might happen due to insufficient power from USB sweat.gif

There are 2 types.
USB -> PCI-E controller, then connect to NVMe SSD
USB -> SATA controller, then connect to SATA SSD

U.2 contains wiring for PCI-E, so the other end of U.2 will go to PCI-E, not SATA controller.

------------------------------------
You have to understand the one physical connector doesn't necessary work in 1 way. There can be different signals.

Never tried. Maybe try this?

Can you run Windows installer from USB? If it does, that tool may work.
