@ryanc i guess a usba to sata adapter with cable would be it then? it seems the market for usb sticks is dying - my quick peruse of amz just showed sandisk, samsung, pny (have avoided them since 2015 due to their tendency to fail read-only), and kingston (not sure how they are nowadays).

@ryanc would a nvme usbc like the crucial x9 pro or similar fit assuming the short cable makes placement somewhat flexible? they are expensive though compared to usb low profile drives. also double checking: it has to be usba and not usbc?

@ryanc ah, I see why - the big plastic key ring slot on there vs the slimmer end of a sandisk ultra fit?

@ryanc for most things that are not space constrained, i've moved to crucial pro nvme usbc drives so i don't have a good recommendation from personal experience but my prior read of user reviews and discussions makes me more comfortable recommending samsung for your specific requirement for this application.

@ryanc sandisk has definitely gone fecal wrt quality, ime - i stay far away from them now.
