Is there a software emulates a SATA interface on a USB storage device, tricking Windows into recognizing the USB SSD as a SATA SSD.
Sandisk Extreme Portable is locked under bios password - dont know the password or even the computer I did this on. I tried many methods. Found that secure erase will work on AOEMI Partition Assistant if I can make windows see the usb as a sata device.
I do not care about the data. Hate that this thing is locked. Been on the backburner of stuff do fix and was hoping to correct this issue.

Not related to selfhosted but OK.
Don’t know about such software for Windows, but if you run Windows on a virtual machine on Linux, like virt-manager/libvirt you can add the USB as a local SSD.
Virt-manager isn’t the most user friendly, but have a lot of featuresI just don’t know where to ask questions sometimes. This group is typically the most well rounded for any problem that I know.

Problem is no volumes can be created. It’s locked via ata. But it’s portable drive so doesn’t show as ata in bios. So annoying
