    That is one way to do it
    If the installer see it connected it will show in the drive options,
    usb devices seldom are shown there only sata connected drives that I've ever seen.

    I tried extracting the contents of the is file, connected the SSD then ran setup..
    Unfortunately it didn't ask where I wanted W10 to be installed so I canceled.

    Thrashzone, are youtrying to say that the only way is to actually connect the SSD to a SATA cable then to install there, then remove it and put it into an enclosure?

    Yep it's a risky way but just because 10 says it's loading files doesn't mean it's installing
    It will eventually give destination options.

    Best way is to burn it to a flash drive with rufus and disconnect every drive except for the one you want to install 10 on.
    Then there should be no mistakes
    You'll also see if 10 will install to a usb connect external drive which I don't believe it will.

in Hardware & Devices

Hello - i have a 2.5" Momentus drive (model ST9500420AS, 500GB 16MB cache) and was wondering would get USB3.0 speeds by using an external connector, a USB3.0 cable and my laptop which has built in USB3.0 ports (and the Renesas driver), so i can use it as a portable drive
I purchased and returned to Newegg the following: Thermaltake N0012US Aluminum & Plastic 3.5" Silver USB 2.0 & eSATA External Enclosure. I unsuccessfully used a 1TB Seagate HDD in the enclosure. I note that the USB 2.0 worked without a problem (though slow compared to what eSATA should do.)....
