So, I decided to revisit the mSATA <-> IDE adapter from Ablecomm with the "red" board.
What I found out is that the Ablecomm board "likes" Samsung PM851 and PM871 mSATA ssd drives (500GB or less)... it really HATES Toshiba branded mSATA boards.
I'm going to see if this board with mSATA adapter will fit correctly with a $7 copper heat sink attached to help conduct heat away in my G4 Powerbook.
NOTE: These need to be in "master" setting for drives... (no jumper on the end pins)
The white/black mSATA <-> IDE 2.5 drives that are like $15 run a bit warmer but LOVE Toshiba branded mSATA SSD drives. I think they work with Hynix as well, but, I've not tested one first hand.
NOTE: I don't believe these support any jumper settings from what I read else where. You use them "as is".
I tested both boards in my Powerbook 5300 (Os 8.1), G3 Pismo (OS 9.2), and my G4 A1106 (OS 10.4 and 10.5).
