Trying to clone a 1Tb nvme (in a system) to a 2Tb nvme in an external enclosure. Enclosure can connect either USB3 or USB-C. Have tried both, external is seen in BIOS using either, Clonezilla never sees it, 3 or C. Does the external nvme need to have a partition on it to be seen by Clonezilla?

It needs a partition and a suitable file system on the external disk.
Can you really get external nvme storage?

  Thanks for the answer.
  Yeah there are external nvme drive enclosures, fairly cheap ($30), usually have USB-C port on it, comes with C to C and C to USB-3 cables. Nvme drives dropping in price , I just picked up a 2Tb for $99. Connect the enclosure to a USB-C port, data transfer rate is pretty fast.

What is the result if you run in the command line prompt:
cat /proc/partitions
