Info Somebody finally came out with a Lunix compatible HDD enclosure

You would think pretty much all SATA2USB adapters would be compatible but I previously got a cheaper USB 2 based enclosure (from newegg) and linux did not recognize it. Windows would only recognize it for certain drives, but not some SSDs.

Sounds like you got a broken one. I've never had one that didn't work.

It's probably a combination of bad luck and a tendency of going super cheap. The newegg failure was a $7 ORICO Transparent usb3 sata case, and I had a previous fail on a super cheap china-shipped usb 2 case from ebay.
