NFHK mSATA Mini PCI-E SATA SSD to 2.5 inch IDE 44pin Notebook Laptop Hard Disk case Enclosure White

Bien

It is working

No pude usar el chasis que tenía mi muy vieja computadora de 32 bits, para sujetarlo.Funciono con un m.2 SATA de Kingston y SO Mageia 8.

So I wanted to write something to attempt to educate some people and comment about the negative reviews on this device claiming it doesn't work. Usually when people are using this device to put a mSATA SSD into an older laptop the thing that they aren't thinking about is the capacity limitations of the BIOS of the older machines. I just bought this and I tried to use it in an older 2006 HP Tablet Laptop (Model Compaq TC 4200). It does work perfectly fine but I did some testing. Using a 64GB mSATA SSD works 100%. Using even a 128GB one works 100%. And even a 256GB mSATA works 100% too. But that's as far as this laptop can go. I tried using a 500 GB mSATA Drive and put it in the laptop and it acted as if there was no hard drive at all / did not even detect it. So the people claiming this device doesn't work are likely trying to use a 500GB or higher capacity mSATA drive in their old EIDE/IDE/PATA laptops and the laptops just don't support drives that big. Back before SATA came out there were never any older laptop hard drives in EIDE/IDE/PATA format that were at 500GB or higher capacity. It never existed so most older laptops are not going to support that via this device. There is nothing wrong with this device and it works perfectly fine. As long as we use a properly sized SSD with a capacity that is compatible with the older machines.
