Hi, I am planning to purchase a 2.5-inch HDD. If I connect it to my computer using a SATA to USB adapter instead of directly to the computer’s SATA, can it somehow affect the result of this scan?
I apologize for my ignorance but I couldn’t find an answer to this question anywhere
If you’re buying used and want to check the health of the drive, you should run a SMART test and check the current SMART data. Most USB controllers do not support that.
