Maybe shucking USB HDDs is the short-term answer.

Is that still possible? Aren't they native USB with no adapter?

Those drives are SATA inside the case.

That depends on the brand. The lower priced brands, yes, those can be SATA, the more vertically integrated companies also make custom PCBs that just have USB-C without any SATA interface exposed internally.

		It's probably feasible to make a "mass storage USB in, SATA protocol out" smart adapter board.

		I see, but if you plan on shucking you obviously get ones you know are able to.
