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

    smartmontools has some good functionality for interfacing with SMART via usb bridges that do not provide native functionality.
