    @echedellelr could do, but it would require labels on both the SSD itself and the enclosure, sooo-

      @awoo ah, is just a ssd with a case...

      i thought that was the typical sandisk portable and such which cannot be opened without breaking the case and such.

        (this is intentional. i'm carrying it to a chaos event and while I don't want them to access my data, I do want them to know how to return it, should I misplace it.)

          @tauon I don't have a pen that can write onto plastics, and I also don't have a label printer.

          so yeah I literally can't :neobot_shocked:​

                @awoo is oki cutie mew

                offers pats if wanted

                Repartitioning encrypted SSD is not something I have seen supported and most guides if not all suggest to delete everything and create the partitions again with just the ones you want being encrypted.
