    You can nevertheless run a manual disk check on an external hard drive via the CHKDSK utility.

    The chkdsk utility is only part of your PC's OS which an external SSD is not, It's for storing files and folders. You could,and should,scan it with your anti-malware if you think there is a malware issue.
