About fucking time. I'm just sick of the "news" about X. Hopefully it disappears for good.
I mean, they don't tell you which part of ToS you violated because you may come up with some way to circumvent it.
They do this on purpose, to avoid workarounds.
Nothing new. Mozilla could disappear tomorrow and a few dozens of people may notice it, if even. They're basically useless at this point.
Let me just say.... LOL
I have a couple of no-brand SATA-USB enclosers with some jmicron chipset. Can't remember the exact chipset right now, as my RPi is not working ATM (see edit).
sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdX should do the job
Yeah, I use something like this, a no-brand enclosure.
I'm using a couple of cheap Kingston A400 for my setup (120 and 480 GB) and they work just fine. One thing I noticed is that the 120 GB one's health went down to 92%, from 100%, in "just" one year (smart parameter). But that's implies a lifetime of more that 12 years, so I'm not excessively concerned.
EDIT: of course, just after writing this comment the smaller SSD began to behave strangely (errors in dmesg).
Shit! What a pity not using Google Search App (nor Google altogether). I've not been part of this historical moment. /s
