Driverless SSD caddy for universal use?

panyan · 28 Aug 2017 at 23:33

I have an old ssd that I would like to use as a large, fast usb flash drive, but it seems it has a hard time being recognized by BIOS's etc.

Im guessing because of all the fancy chips needing drivers to work :confused:

Is there a super simple adapter/caddy which is driverless and would make the drive look like a usb stick to enable more universal usage?

Thanks

Search for 'USB to SATA cable' and a few will pop up from less than £10

Yes - I have tried a few of them but they all seem to require drivers which means that they dont appear in the BIOS

Have you found one that works in the BIOS?

Are you sure that it's not the usb port(controller) that needs drivers?

Try another port.
