SUPER TALENT FEM32GF13M 1.3" 32GB IDE ZIF SSD in X40 ?

#1 Post by pierro78 » Sat Oct 17, 2009 12:43 pm

Any idea if these "SUPER TALENT FEM32GF13M 1.3" 32GB IDE ZIF SSDs" could work in an X40 :
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6820609470 ???
These are quite cheap and look like good performers ...
(sorry if the question has been asked before)

Also, in case somebody has missed it, I've spotted these "IBM X40 X41 X41t HDD 1.8" ZIF to IDE Converter Adapter by johnny8088" on ebay :
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0435331826
(these look useful for lazy people like me with no soldering skill ...)

PS :
after my T42P died I decided I couldn't be without a thinkpad and bought an X40 as it seems to be such a fun machine and also because of the great community and knowledgeable people I can find here :)

Oops looks like my question is already answered there :
http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.ph ... 43#p526043 :
In a few words : the drive should work but not inside the "easy johnny8088/elecchina adapter", because it doesn't have contacts on the same side as other zif drives and thus needs a "flip" zif cable ...

PS :
sorry for "spamming", I was just being a little bit "too happy" because I should receive my X40 soon ;)

Although I haven't tried it myself; yes, one of those $10 IDE-ZIF adapter and a "flip" cable should work with the Super Talent SSD board. Performance should be on par with the Sandisk SSD board.
