      @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.

            @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.
