Linux Mint isn't allowing file copying from the Linux partition to a second NVMe SSD on your laptop.
I possess two NVMe drives on my laptop. The issue is that I cannot transfer files from the Linux partition to the second NVMe drive (NTFS). Only the second drive is accessible.
NTFS is a Microsoft-made file system. Several Linux distros now include it by default, though writing might be turned off for regular users. It’s best to avoid writing unless fast boot isn’t enabled in Windows. If you’re not using Windows anymore, it’s wise to back up the drive and format it with a Linux-friendly type such as ext4.
Linux doesn't support NTFS natively, but on Ubuntu you can write to those partitions since the kernel includes an NTFS driver. It's possible that Mint comes with it by default, though I'm not sure.

It seems like your NTFS partition might be corrupted. Try booting into Windows and executing CHKDSK with the drive letter followed by /f to fix issues, or use the ntfsfix tool. Spoiler: It could work!
