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

    eSATA fell out of fashion when USB got faster AND eSATA wasn’t hot plug and play.

      I get that. SATA can be hot plug these days. I’m not saying it should rival the number of USB ports we get on motherboards, but I remember there were also these USB eSATA hybrid ports. Which would probably only work with USB 2.0 but still, would be nice to have.
