USB SSD formatted as Flash?
Posted: Sat Jan 18, 2014 6:02 pm
I ask this on NBR in the drives section and got responses of why I shouldn't do it.
I'll ask here to a much more responsive audience.
How do I setup a SSD in a usb enclosure to be recognized as a removable device? Not partitioned.
I need it setup to appear as a usb flash drive. It's for music in my truck. The head unit will read usb flash drives, but not anything partitioned.
I understand the alternatives, but I have reasons to use the ssd. Mainly I already own it and need a use for it.
The SSD is connected to my pc via a usb to sata adapter right now. I had to partition it in order to access the drive. Windows saw it as a disk drive. I need Windows to see it as a flash drive. For it to work in my truck it needs to NOT be partitioned.
I am transferring from it right now. 8k of files...3hrs to go.......on usb 3
RMPrepUSB may do it. It says it will format a usb device to appear as a floppy disk...No partition table. 64gb floppy drive?????
