unfortunately I spilt milk on my MacBook Pro (early 2015 model) and it’s had it. Luckily I had insurance and need to send off the laptop for repair or replace. You need to back up my hard drive first. Since removing to do so, I’ve found it’s an M.2 SSD Drive. The problem is I can’t seem to find the correct external enclosure online to order for it. They all seem to have different keys? I have no idea about how, someone please help me on this! Pics of the ssd hard drive attached.

The 2015 MacBook uses a Blade SSD special to Apple. Apple didn't start using standard M.2 drives till 2016 so the connector is a bit different. You can either get an OWC external case like CoastalOR mentioned or you can get an adapter on Ebay that will allow you to plug the Blade drive into an M.2 connector, see the post https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...ssd-to-m-2-nvme.2034976/page-96#post-26776198 for info on the best current adapter, they're pretty cheap on Amazon and Ebay.
