PCIe Length of This Quad m.2 Carrier?

[Prototype1]

I recently moved from an MSI GT72 to a desktop rig. The GT72 has quad SSD's that were set up in raid. I would like to be able to move some data from the old SSD's to my new computer but I'm not sure if it is possible. The drives look like this. The "carrier?" is slightly longer than a PCIe 2.0 x 1 slot. Can I plug it into a 16x slot?

as long your x1 slot has opening at end for longer cards, it will fit (just transfer speed will be limited)
if your x1 slots doesnt have such opening (closed slots), then u will need to use x16 slot

I tried the 16x slot but I can’t get the board to slide into the slot
