Mini USB to SATA (DATA) Diagram

[einstein9]

Dear guys,

Anyone knows the Pinout to Convert the Mini USB to SATA (Data Only) output???

fzabkar, i guess maybe you are the one for this my dear

[fzabkar]

Sorry, I don't understand your question. Can you be more specific?

Hi man, thnx for the reply

Here is it:

I wanted to convert from this Interface (Mini USB)

to SATA Data

have you ever tried this?

[drc]

Not possible. USB and SATA are different.

[einstein9]

Not possible. USB and SATA are different.

well, i guess my friend that everything is possible Its the matter of time only

remember that there is a converter from SATA 2 USB

what makes you think or decide vise verse is not possible?

convince me on this !!!

thnx

[drc]

Sure, you can have a converter, but as the protocols are not the same at all it will involve more than just a "pinout"

[einstein9]

Well, drc, i hope you`re wrong on this,,, but i will continue my research,,,

thnx

There is a bridge IC in between .

AIUI, the OP wants to connect a SATA controller (host) to a USB peripheral, not the other way around. I'm not aware of any bridges that can do this.

i was googling alot but never found such a thing about it

i dono why is it difficult to go one way and the reverse is not possible for this case?

Reverse should be possible, otherwise how it would be!

No, I didn't try it. It should work, otherwise why will they tell it, also they did quote it $260.

My question also - Is there any member who has been using it and working as stated?

[einstein9]

well maybe probably someone did it, we never know.
but the link you provided is way far from the one am looking for.

am still doing some testing here, love the research of the 0-Day

mr. shahij , it will not work .

Salvation data "Mr. Edison" said
" For the USB to IDE adapter, it is firstly used to connect the USB drives with its USB port, and then you can use one cable IDE to connect with other data equipment.

So far according to our test, it works with USB devices to perform data backup and data clean using DCK, it doesn't work to perform firmware operations. It can be connected with DC to recover lost data due to accidental deletion, format and other logical recovery cases. It is not as good as connecting directly to IDE drives if with bad sectors, but it worked."

Thanks for your information.
Well, in this case, how to access the SA for further analysis?

Pay Attention to the Initio Chip

you can convert this to SATA to access the SA but NO DATA will be accessed
coz of the chip.

you will see this in WD,Samsung 2.5"

Well, drc, i hope you`re wrong on this,,, but i will continue my research,,,

thnx

Drc is right. It has no sense.
