Planning to upgrade my internal SSD (One M.2) soon. Wondering whether this can be repurposed in some way. . . . Also, currently using Bitlocker for disk encryption. Should I be disabling/decrypting the old disk before removing it? If somehow repurposed for external use, should I then encrypting with Veracrypt instead? Anything else I ought to be thinking about?
Get an extermal ssd enclosure, wipe it, and encrypt it (even bitlocker is fine)
try to get a usb 3 10gbps enclosure if you do
not because speed matters but because most of the 5gbps ones are old chipsets that don’t support functions like trim which is important for ssd lifespan
it is also possible to flash the jms578 with firmware that does support trim, but it is a tedious process

Thank you, this was the advice I needed, @KDEBacon and @SkewedZeppelin.
