    I’m guessing there’s no SATA beneath all of this?

    Correct, these are native USB drives.
    You are stuck with this so you might as well put it back in the case.

    WD and Toshiba portable drives have USB soldered on. Seagate portables still have a SATA interface.

    Most external 2.5" drives do not have sata connections. Only the 3.5" drives are a reasonable safe bet, and it’s still not a sure thing. Best to look up the drive before purchasing.
