From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Recommend me a USB to SATA adapter that actually works on Linux (lemmy.ml)

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.)

I have had more than decent success with Orico devices.

Here is one that suits your needs:

I have 2x orico enclosures, at usb 3.0(not C, I haven't used that one yet, it has a 2tb m.2) holding a 2tb and an 8 tb SATA platters, and according to the orico site several of their enclosures explicitly state they support TRIM, my 2 don't explicitly say they support TRIM but I can see the smart status on them
