No, it famously lacks TRIM for example. They may finally have gotten their act together and updated it in a recent version, but there are plenty drives on the market still today that will , for lack of TRIM support, eventually grind themselves down to a halt. FireWire and Thunderbolt do support full SCSI, iirc.
- progval 7y agoI also recently tried a bunch of USB3+SCSI - SATA adapters from Amazon, and only found a single one that supported passing TRIM through. And that's after a firmware upgrade that can only (afaik) be done using an installer running on ARM+Linux and provided by a third-party. Truly amazing.
- throwaway3neu94 7y agoHow can I check that for my adapter?
- progval 7y agoEither mount the drive and run "fstrim" on the drive's location (it will error without TRIM support) or https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/339684/21419 https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/339684/21419
- vetinari 7y agoYou need to check your adapters for UASP support. In addition to devices, the host controller has to support UASP too - in early days of USB3, it was separately licensed option.
