SSD formatting

I have a Kingston M.2 SSD out of an old working laptop. No idea anymore about the type, OS, etc. I bought a USB enclosure to use the SSD as an external drive. Tried to initialize/format in Win11, Linux & 2 different third party utilities. Using all those methods the software shows the drive but won't let me do anything. The drive is not defective. Any ideas?

Are you sure this ssd is compatible with an enclosure? Are you delivering enough power to the enclosure?
