is it not obvious?
Just to repeat what others are saying, I also know that if I don't see much effort put into the question... like did the poster try A or B or at least Google something first... I'm less inclined to help. Not trying to saying all replies are perfect, and I do agree I've seen some bad ones. But, it's safe to say certainly not all posters are perfect either.
I find if a poster respects the time of the peeps who answer, enough to do just a little work - even if that means writing more than "where codez?" - it does tend to go better. I think... I hope... maybe?

Well, my honest feelings about this inelegant fellow is that until he "'fesses" up and gives us the true location of his "unseenedness" (by editing his particulars to out his use of the mercan flag) he's just being colorful for the sake of color.

Why would you need CPU memory to read the disk drive?
From looking at their web page, their drives are all SSDs. Open the device, look at the SSD model, and then google the SSD model to see the interface type. Get an SSD enclosure that matches the SSD interface (SATA/M.2-SATA/M.2-NVMe to USB), and connect that to another PC.

Are you sure that your files are saved in processor memory? I would expect them to be on a rotating or solid state disk.

Your memory module is a Dynamic random-access memory[^] (the second 'D' in DD4). This type of memory doesn't retain anything the moment power goes down.
As others have said, look for somewhere else where your data is stored.

I have a BeeLink also and yeah they are throw aways.
Open the case up and in the bottom is an SSD.
If you can't put it in your computer you can get one of these SSD-to-USB adapters[^] to retrieve the data.

I had my first real encounter with an M.2 disk a number of years ago, when a (non-computer-guy) friend asked med for help with some problems with his disk. I opened the case to see the model of the disk, intending to move it to another computer for testing. There was no disk there! At least none that I could see. I was extremely bewildered. Fortunately, the PC was so new that my friend still had the documentation that came with it, and I could read not only that the disk is an M.2, but also where I could find it on the mainboard. Oh, so that's what an M.2 looks like! I had heard mention of M.2, but had never looked up a picture of one, and would not have recognized it without the documentation.
At that time, I obviously didn't have an alternate M.2 reader, but we fixed the problem anyway - it turned out to not be related to the disk.
If you open the case in search of a SATA flash disk, you may not find it. I am not familiar with the machine referred to, and do not know whether to expect SATA or M.2 disk. From Amazon.com it looks as if some BeeLink models have SATA, others have M.2.
Note to OP: M.2 and SATA type flash disks are completely different animals; they need different kinds of adapters. If you buy an M.2 adapter: Some of them have USB-C connectors only. If you want to read the disk on an old PC lacking C sockets, you should make sure that the adapter has that option. Usually, you can expect significantly higher speed on the C socket.

You open it up it either has an SSD or not. Never heard of the M.2 disks, I'll have to check it. Thanks for the heads up!

Do!
The performance is significantly higher than for SATA disks, especially if your mainboard provides PCIe 4.0 or even better, 5.0 - and the M.2 disk you buy match your PCIe version. But your mainboard must be prepared for it - running an external M.2 through a USB interface is like pearls before swine 
Don't be surprised if you motherboard has an M.2 socket! After I discovered that M.2 in my friend's computer, I went home to read the documentation for my old, 2015 vintage PC (i-5820K CPU). Lo and behold, it did have an M.2 socket as well, that I never noticed before! If Wikipedia tells the truth, M.2 was 10 years old last November. So you might be in luck. Having an M.2 system disk, I never notice neither boot up times or application startup times. (Of course it isn't immediate, but it no longer is of any concern.)

As others have pointed out, your link is to standard RAM. Your data's on either an SSD, or an NVME drive. Depending on your specific Beelink model, you could have one or the other (and typically if they ship with an NVME drive, there's also an (empty) slot for an SSD.
Unrelated: I have around half a dozen of these Beelinks; one of them has been upgraded to 64GB of RAM and I use it to lighten the VM hosting load I have on my primary VM host (a traditional full tower). I'm tempted to get another one and also upgrade it to 64GB and retire my full-size tower.
And I agree, their cheapest ones are practically throwaway. I had one die on me (a low-end one) and just moved its drive to another one, and I was immediately back in business.
Prior to that, I went through two Intel NUCs. Both of those are dead - one never turned back on after a major, multi-day power failure, and the other ran way too hot and (I suspect) the CPU just burned out. Both NUCs tended to run hot, and IMO have poor thermal management. That's when I switched over to the Beelinks--I'd never go back to Intel. But then they exited that business, I suspect my experience with them was not unique...

NO, keep it and will end up in a museum in about 30 years or so.
