Disassembling Sandisk Exterme portable

[ddd123]

Hi Guys

I have here the external ssd Sandisk Exterme portable
i'm sending picture of what's inside

I cannot pull out the SSD disk from the bridge/NVMe port
Does anybody have experience what to do with it?
Shall I use hot air? Is it there fixed with glue?

thanks for advices

Take a look edge on with the scope.

It's going to be adhesive or a pad, a little IPA and a wiggle should help.

I don't recommend poking down there with a medal spudger though !

They come off easily with a little heat and IPA
