Not for mere mortals like us.

If you have booted from
usb than there shouldn't be a need for another
machine. That is _if_ the adapters you are using can provide enough
power for the ssd drives. If they can, just plug in and see what 'dmesg'
reports. If they don't provide enough power, you'll need an external
enclosure.
Cheers,
Mike.
