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.)


Sounds like it would be actively used so I wouldn’t go without a powered adapter or hub. I struggled for months with an external adapter that would work 90% of the time but suddenly unmount at the worst times.
