| Post subject: | Adapters for this SSD? | ||
Previously I've only been working with 2.5" SSD-drives. Yesterday this one showed up in the workshop, and I have no idea how to interface it. The connector looks a lot like the one on laptop WiFi-cards, so I tried attaching it there. Alas, to no avail. Perhaps the laptop is too old, but the drive didn't even show up in BIOS. Tips?

This one is a mSATA 128GB SSD drive out of a HP Spectre XT Pro Ultrabook mSATA to SATA adapters are easily to find in the internet (eBay). +++ |

Tip #1: Don't play suck-it-and-see with your customer's data. Tip #2: If you have no idea how to interface something, then at least spend some time determining the function of the pins. For example, if it is a SATA device, then the SATA Tx/Rx differential pairs will be obvious. At the bare minimum, determine the ground and supply pins, and the supply voltage. If you can't confirm the latter, then DON'T plug it in. |

These drives are showing up more often in the past year...having atleast one good reliable adapter in hand is a must. |
