Windows 10: usb sata enclosure limits

I have some USB SATA enclosures and one EIDE enclosure. My old 12TB hard disk had it rough as for a long time I could not find a USB SATA enclosure to place the disk into. The old boxes topped out at 8TB. Finally a SATA enclosure surfaced that can handle my 12TB disk,.Now I ordered a 28TB hard disk and I am worried about more capacity problems. The ATA6 standard goes back to the EIDE and LBA48 was established to push the hard disk limits far away after the age of transition from DOS to FAT32 and NTFS. Now UEFI and GPT is available and 18EB volumes are interesting. I hate limitations.

Problem in transferring Data to HDD SATA hardware enclosure kit

Hello all, I recently purchased a HDD SATA hardware enclosure kit for the purpose of retrieving data from my old laptop that has died. I received the package, followed directions, plugged it in, with two USB ports, then nothing happened. I could hear that
the disk in the enclosure was spinning, however, nothing appeared on the screen. I even went into Device Manager and looked under installed hardware and it was not listed. I even tried to reset my pc and have the enclosure plugged in during the reinstallation
process. Subsequently, I had to return the hardware enclosure. Does anyone have an idea why this particular device would not work in Windows 10? Thank you

 

SATA SSD not bootable via usb, cloning did not work either

I tried checking the files and what copied over and i'm a bit lost and it's a little overwhelming so i gave up. I ended up buying off amazon a SATA/NVME dual bay enclosure with offline clone to try out what you were suggesting (on Amazon it was listed as MAIWO Dual Bay Enclosure for M.2 NVMe and 2.5 3.5 Inch SATA SSD/HDD with Offline Clone, USB C 10Gbps Lay Flat Docking Station Duplicator for M.2 NVMe and External SATA Hard Drive). I didn't hook it up to my computer at all and it cloned in about 10 minutes. I reinstalled the M.2 SSD that i cloned my old SATA SSD data to and with it in the 1st position for booting it lagged and then skipped over it to my normal SSD in my laptop so i'm thinking it also failed. I was going to check for an official bootloader that would load when i start my comptuer so i can ensure i'm selecting the correct SSD to try booting from but for now it looks like another failure on my end.

If all else fails i'll probably go to my work IT department and see if they have any suggestions or would be willing to do it for me on the side. As always i'm open to any suggestions.
