A particular Pi project requires something more robust than the regular SD card.

Booting / running off an SSD has been recommended.
One way of doing this is to connect a SSD in a USB enclosure.

Problem is, many of the locally available enclosures do not work - something to do with the chipset.
See this page for a list:

Has anyone here done this before and has found an USB/SATA cable/box that works?

Also wondering about using a SATA hat for the Pi.
