I have a laptop PC with a SCSI drive controller. I need to buy and use an external SSD connected with USB. I cannot find any external SSDs that say they are SCSI devices. Since the external drive will be connected with USB will this matter? I am currently fighting with a Western Digital hard drive that is registering as /dev/sdb. The hard drive appears to have more bad sectors than good ones. The drive platters must look like someone took a sand blaster to them. e2fsck has been looking for bad blocks on /dev/sdb2 for nearly nineteen and a half hours and it's 5.01% done checking a 250 GB hard drive. I called it as fsck.ext4 to check a new ext4 file system which ran e2fsck.
