I'm not using it for storage.
It is a dead drive. It is no more.
It is an "ex" drive.
Anyway, the issue is not using a SATA to USB interface, the SATA interface on the drive is dead. It is a special drive in that it also has a mini-USB connector on the drive. So, there wasn't even a need for the USB to SATA interface. The wiggling wasn't on the cable, it was pressing the chips and components on the drive to reconnect whatever was intermittent.
See, I have the drive pulled apart. On an SSD, this means the cover is off and the PCB is exposed/removed.
