Installation:
The adapter was delivered within a few days. The installation was also quite simple:
- Screw Screws provided in the sidewall of the hard disk (to avoid wobbling)
Insert disk in adapter -
Fold plastic bracket on the rear part of the adapter for locking -
- Finish
The disk was then found directly after booting. Also changing with DVD drive and back again during the ongoing
System worked.
Whether it is already available directly from the boats in order to start an operating system directly which may, I have not yet tested.
Processing:
It has been reported several times that the adapter shorts would trigger when you press on the notebook casing below,
since the conductors on the bottom of the hard drive with the metal bottom of the adapter would come into contact.
However with me a plastic card lay on the metal floor, so that the hard disk can not come into contact with the metal floor.
This problem should therefore be resolved by now.
For safety, however, I have screwed the underbody of the adapter and the solder,
less than a millimeter away from the metal floor, additionally taped with electrical tape.
Actually, no contact should be possible even without tape, but better safe than sorry.
After that I could so strongly press down on the bottom of the notebook as I wanted to and there was no short-circuits, interruptions or other.
Without tape I have not tested it.
Chipset:
When screwing on, I noticed that the adapter only connects the terminals to the hard drive and the notebook directly. In addition, an LED is still connected.
Optimized for SSD chipset I have not found, and there is probably not. Here the SATA signal 1: 1 looped through.
The description of this chipset is probably referring to the variant for older notebook series with PATA ports, where the signal has yet to be converted to SATA.
However, it is just as well, if not a chipset is used and the hard drive is connected directly to the motherboard:
no loss in speed and a source of error less.
Therefore, I can well do without the "optimized" chip set and give it no deduction.
