Title. I need a USB 3 to SATA adapter to use a spare 2.5" SSD with a machine that doesn’t have any spare SATA ports and no place to put it at this point.
I’ve read that most of these adapters have issues with supporting TRIM on Linux. I need one that supports TRIM.
So any recommendations for something that will survive reboots which I’m planning to use for semi-permanent game storage?
An enclosure style is fine.
(Note: I too can search Amazon. When looking into the reviews from Linux users most of the adapters that claim to work with Linux have people clarifying TRIM doesn’t work.)
Dust, fingerprints, etc.
Allegedly they may check these things under black lights at the factory for any evidence of opening to attempt to deny warranty. With drive prices having doubled since I bought it and all capacity bought out they’d be extra eager to find any excuse to attempt to deny. Magnuson–Moss warranty act should prevent them from doing that but I don’t have a high power law firm on retainer to sue and intimidate western digital into compliance if they tell me to pound dirt.
