Pardon my ignorance. Does your bare SSD sit outside without any case (connected to the Pi via the SATA to USB cable)? Does it need any kind of heat dissipation

Pardon my ignorance. Does your bare SSD sit outside without any case (connected to the Pi via the SATA to USB cable)? Does it need any kind of heat dissipation mechanism (or cooling) at all?
- hajile 7y agoThat's up to you. You can find USB3 SATA enclosures on Amazon for around the $12 mark. There's not a big heat dissipation issue in my experience and a Pi probably isn't exactly going to be taxing the drive very much. If you don't mind the terrible $/gb ratio, you can even get USB3 thumbdrives that use an SSD.
