Oh dear :-) how could hot plugging help? It can make only thing worse
if anything.
So here is (are) my question(s):
Can I get the system to recognize this 2 tb SSD. It is plugged in,
but doesn't appear?
You mean:
dir /dev/disk/by-id/
Does not show this drive at all?
Do I need to buy some sort of gadget (an enclosure or
something?)
so that I can plug in the SSD as if it were a USB drive?
If you want to use it as USB, yes.
Can I somehow reformat this 2 tb SSD without buying
more stuff?
Well, if it is not recognized at all (because it is damaged), than no.
And if it is, and it is not damaged, all you would need is attaching
it -- formatting is possible if it is connected directly, or via USB.
Kind regards,
