HDD GURU FORUMS

Anyone got similar cases? coz its the 1st. here with me
We used to see the Maxio but this is new

WTF - new one on me. Please tell me that's not the direction manufacturers are going. Have you had a probe around, did you find anything?

found the safe-mode pins (which is visible here) but nothing else yet...

What does the controller ID itself as in safe mode?

It's called mini SDP. This form of SSD is rare, and I encountered it a long time ago. Typically, the controller is one of 88NV1120, MAS1102, MAS0902, or YS9082.

They're around since 2016? Wow, they must be very rare, haven't seen one either. Which, I guess, is a good thing

I think there's probably lost of "stuff" we don't see as they never makes it this far West. If it looks like that though I'm glad - what are you supposed to do, ask it nicely to provide the data?

I also dislike similar things. This company seems very keen on producing products with non-standard interfaces, which I think is a rather low-level innovation. Truly capable companies don't spend too much time showcasing how different they are.

Is that the correct model number? When I search for "Lexar NQ100", I get a 2.5" SSD but no mini SDP.

The controller is a Lexar DM928, which is a rebranded Maxio MAS1102.
