Can the SATA-to-USB adapter affect the result of the bad sectors scan? - Lemmy.World

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

Well, as I’m coming in here, I see two “no’s,” a “maybe” and I came to say “absolutely fucking yes” because I’ve lost hours to a couple cheap shitty usb-sata cables that did all kinds of weird stupid shit that immediately disappeared after I replaced the cables. So, “maybe” but “absolutely fucking yes.”

That won’t cause bad sectors though, that just means the data you were writing was bad.
