Sector scans, imaging/cloning, and booting live environments. It has less to do with the medium and more to do with the quality of your chosen adapter. I have one of the adapter you pictured, ordered it to test it out because it was comparatively low cost. Did not order more. I have about a dozen of the Sabrent adapters and they see daily use. linkfedilink
