Recommended mSATA-to-PATA adapter for use in T4x?

[karotlopj]

Having read the sticky thread about using SSDs to speed up T4x's I had a look to see what was available...

Amazon have quite a few but the price range is significant... Anyone have any comments on this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/JaneDream-Powe ... ta+adapter

or could you suggest a better one?

You don't say for what speciifc "T4x" you wish to install a mSATA SSD, and you also don't say what OS you intend to run? If you have however really read the "T4x-SATA-sticky" at the top of this forum (GUIDE: Make your T4x *FAST* by replacing the HDD with a SSD!"), and the threads linked to therei), then you will know that T43/p's are different from T40/T41/T42/p's when it somes to which SATA SSD's that will work, and which adapters that will work etc.

If you have a T40/T41/T42/p's, then is is my recommendation that you (and without any discussion!) should get this one. It is the one particularly discussed in the thread New SSD opt. for T4x: mSATA-to-IDE adapter ST663FD9 *PICS* which has been sold under the names Lycom/Addonics/Aleratec/DeLock/Kuroutoshikou etc.

A list of all the mSATA SSD's which have been successfully used in T4x/p's with that adapter is found in this post which I have kept continuously updated.

If you can find the Lycom/Addonics/Aleratec/DeLock/Kuroutoshikou (and now apparently also "LINDY"!?!) mSATA-to-IDE adapter cheaper elsewhere, compared to the Amazon-link above, hten fine - but personally I absolutely wouldn't get any other brand just to save a few bucks, since the Lycom/Addonics/Aleratec/DeLock/Kuroutoshikou/LINDY has proved to work perfectly in e.g. T42/p's.
