Dear Filip, I use a 2.5in USB-SATA connector and it works well with OpenBSD 7.6-current. It's just a cheapie model I bought off AliE. In the hope it helps, I popped the adapter open to see what chipset it is. The QR Code on the board translated to `XT-HAOJAG-578-v8pck-2571`. In `dmesg` it shows up as:
>umass0 at uhub0 port 1 configuration 1 interface 0 "JMS578-A Best USB >Device" rev 2.10/41.01 addr 9 Doing a websearch it seems the JMS578 is a very broadly recommended controller chipset. I hope this helps. With very best wishes, requiem.
