SSD access to R7000 question

I have tried to add an external ssd to my router without any succes.This was confirmed by another discussion of this forum.

My question is: will it be possible to add a internal SSD (250Gb) combined with a usb adapter like the [Sabrent USB 3.1 (Typ-A), um SSD / 2,5-Zoll-SATA-Festplatte Adapter [Optimiert für SSD, Unterstützt UASP SATA III] (EC-SS31)] to the R7000. I' am a newbe so before bying I like to be informed about  this issue.

    Hi BenZ

    We have not tested this kind of setup but it is possible. However, the requirement for the USB drive that is self-powered must use less than 750mA of power.
