Isn't that just a standard sata interface?
Connect it to any motherboard with sata and power connector.
Just make sure the conectors are the right way round!

Hi
@ dick
That is not a standard sata connector it's just a mini pci-e connector which is internally converted to sata by the motherboard...

I stand corrected!
Somehow I completely confused it with my Micro sata interface which it is not!

Hi Amarbir

I think what he is trying to say is that the adapter is only compatible with those SSD's listed there....
Anyway, after more googling it looks that this is an PATA?? SSD not a SATA...Here is a link where you can find how to repair this SSD in case it shows 0 MB capacity....

But be AWARE that this operation is data destructive so, if you want the data ,does not apply in your case...
