> 2. Use an USB 3.0 External Hard Drive Case with a SSD Disk. For example, [Ethereum on Arm](https://twitter.com/EthereumOnARM) use an Inateck 2.5 Hard Drive Enclosure FE2011. Make sure to buy a case with an UASP compliant chip, particularly, one of these: JMicron (JMS567 or JMS578) or ASMedia (ASM1153E).
