Scsi or USB? #19

Closed ralhei closed 4 years ago

ralhei commented 4 years ago

Hi guys, this is probably a very stupid question, but I'm confused ;-) Your project uses a SCSI driver to communicate with the WD disk, so does this mean it NOT work with USB3 drives? I'm asking this because I'm intending to buy such a USB disk for my Linux box and I'm trying to find out which software helps me with the disk encryption on the Linux side. Any clarification is very much appreciated. Ralph

Linux kernel merged the usb and scsi driver years ago. So scsi, pata and usb are using the same driver.
