Hi gurus, Has any one found out pinouts for this drive? It seems like there exists no adapter for this. There is an old topic in which is discussions about a similar case but I just wonder if somebody has struggled with the same problem later on. I really could use the pinouts.

The Slim USATA pinout or the NAND Chip pinouts? |

is this the SSD? http://forum.hddguru.com/download/file.php?id=3123&mode=view is this the thread you mean? http://forum.hddguru.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=18418&hilit=LIF Quote: "Thanks for the previous posters info, it got me pointed in the right direction. samsung mzrpc256hadr-000so 256gb with broken\missing connector. Very interesting, unique drive. 2 ssds in a raid. 1st side is dumping now." seems promising. |

Thank you for your reply. This (the thread) somewhat confuses me. Should one connect two SATA connections to both sides?  This disk has two identical sides.

Sorry to be a stickler for details, but you didn't answer my question if the picture I linked to was same as yours. I think there are some with different connectors but same model numbers, though really have not done a lot of looking. Maybe better to start by posting a picture of both sides of YOUR disk. then no-one is working off any assumptions. From what I have read after a quick skim, it looks like it may be 2 "separate" disks in RAID 0, 1 each side. there is also this post, where the hack3r gets a capacity boost by some cable shenanigans. He seems to have a Quad RAID, 2 disks, 2 "disks" per disk. http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/upgrading-vpc-z1-with-quad-raid-to-1tb.655886/ how many disks "PCBs" do you have, and do you have the double ribbon cable. ? if it is one PCB, I am guessing it is one SATA Disk per side. look at book14's picture showing the signal names. |

My apologies. The disk here is similar to the one you linked to. The idea having two some sort of separate disks on each side really makes sense. There is one piece of disks but the "unit" has a SSD disk on both sides so (to my understanding) there are two independent disks totally. The type of connection forces one to that direction that - as you mentioned - each side is divided to two "logical" disk. RAID ?. I do have the cable. Actually I have Sony Vaio here. It suffers of some moisture accident. Photos of each side of the disk and of the cable attached. I have been looking at book14's great picture. It just never occured to me that each side could be divided to two disks. Thank you for that idea!

Hi, I've done some of those. If you need help to recover the data, send a pm. Bosse |

You have few possibilities to recover data: 1. If drive is working - just connect SATA interface 2. Fix the laptop and just copy the disk 3. Read nand chips and assembly the image - if controller is dead. We have done few same or similar drive. |

Thank you for your suggestions. Your number one is also my number one. As soon as the way to create the connection will be in my knowledge I'll commit it. The problem here is that I will need some guidance to add this skill to my toolbox. |
