Computer A is already stuck at start up and the whole PC is dead.

I want to find out whether the SSD on this dead PC is bad or stuffed full & causing the crash.

The SSD on this PC is like the RAM on laptops. The size is about 1/2 the size of the RAM on desktop PC, and it is inserted into a slot like that on the laptop.
It seems that various brands make their SSDs various in shape & size & the mechanism attaching it to the board.

Are they all different from one another?

If this is your drive - Lite On CV1-8B128 (M.2 sata)

Then you either connect it to sata compatible M.2 slot on motherboard or use M.2 to sata adapter and connect it as regular sata drive.

[SOLVED] - How to check out an SSD drive ?

Acer T3-715 The PC is currently dead. It stuck at "acer" logo right after power on. Some say that the cause of the trouble is the SSD drive, such as : It does not run, It has a bad sector, It is stuffed full, and so on. How to check out this SSD whether it is a good or bad one?

Yes. It is the SSD. I do not know whether they are same.
Here is a picture of the SSD on my PC.

"If this is your drive - Lite On CV1-8B128 (M.2 sata)" You said.
What does " (M.2 sata)" mean?
Does it mean that is is compatible with SATA2 ?
The SATA drive on my PC is a SATA3.

Your 2nd picture.
Is it the "M.2 to sata adapter" as you mentioned?

"Then you either connect it to sata compatible M.2 slot on motherboard or use M.2 to sata adapter and connect it as regular sata drive."
Suppose I find a PC which is the same brand & model & having the same SSD on its board, I can test my SSD on that PC. They are "sata compatible" as you said. Is this right?
