I'd try the spare workstation approach I posted about before.... it will be easy if you have a spare but you might not.
You also could try a USB-attached external HDD, .........
Thank you Scott
Silly me; I thought the purpose of the SATA to USB Bridge was to facilitate SSD being seen and communicated with. Is there some way to remove this blockage? Could it be related to that apparently elderly Microsoft driver?
Unfortunately, I do not have another workstation nor another HDD. Could I use a USB3 thumbdrive?
I'll respond to your second post separately; it looks promising.
