Samsung RAID LIF 128GB SSD, any adaptor for it?????

[Alexxx]

Hello!
Help me please!
I try to connect to one of two mmcre28gqdxp disks directly through an adapter.
Connect not soldered and through pins.
Tester checked everything, OK.
The scheme is also hooked up everything correctly, power +3.3 is served.
The disk does not see any programs.
Where could there be a problem?
Thank you!

I have the same case here. Recently the old SONY VAIO laptop died and the SSD is a 256GB Samsung RAID LIF drive just like pictures showed here. Looks like there was a solution to the problem. Could someone help me out? I bought the LIF to SATA adaptor online with a white ribbon cable, but it won't fit the LIF connector on the drive. Thanks.

Thank you, can you guide me with the pinout of the connector

Can you upload detailed photos of both sides of your PCB?

What are the markings on the flash controller?

In which machine (model number of Apple, Sony, etc) was this SSD installed? Sometimes the service manual will have the pinout.

AISI, the PCB is powered from +3.3V according to the information on the label. There are two SSDs on the board, one on each side. Each SSD has its own SATA Tx/Rx differential pairs.

The photo you have provided has a 5V TVS diode across the 3.3V input. Using the markings on the diode as a reference, I have identified the +3.3V and ground points on the board. Please confirm this for yourself, as serious damage will result if I've got it wrong.

SD05-7, Diodes Inc, marking ZA, 5V, 350W, UNI-DIRECTIONAL SURFACE MOUNT TVS:

The SATA data pairs should correspond to the following pinout, either directly or reversed:
