Can the SATA-to-USB adapter affect the result of the bad sectors scan?
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 the USB port doesn't provide enough power constantly it might have an influence. If you are on a desktop type computer use the ports on the back that are directly connected to the main board.
