Will this ssd work with the Drobo - Samsung Electronics Samsung 850 Pro-Series 2.5" 1TB SATA III

By itself, I don't see why it wouldn't work. I had this discussion with an Apple Genius and he questioned mixing SSD with current, disk based SATA drives. And, at $700.00 per drive, that's a big investment to max out your Drobo Mini with SSD's. This is a question better posed to Data Robotics. BTW. I am now on my third, replacement Drobo mini in 8 months. Their customer service-support is very weird. No doubt, filling this thing with SSD's would make it scream. Currently, having it maxed out with 1T - 2.5" disk drives, with a very large mSATA card and using Thunderbolt interface. I'm very happy. Again, it's hasn't been without some heartbreak. And, lost data.

The SSDs you have to worry about are the ones with the Sandforce controllers. Samsung makes their own controllers. The 830s and 840s have been tested and confirmed to work with the Mini, so I suspect the 850 won't change that. Keep in mind, if you use all SSDs in the Mini, don't fill the mSATA slot, because that will not give you any boost in performance, and it might even be a bottleneck.

SATA III is backwards compatible with SATA I & II so it will work with this enclosure

Potentially, yes, but maybe not. Depends on a few things including your BIOS. I have an older motherboard (nVidia 750i) and my mobo did NOT recognize this drive. From what I've read, I believe your bios needs to have AHCI capability to recognize this drive. From a SATA standpoint it should be entirely backwards compatible, but do your homework ahead of time just to be sure. Thankfully Amazon is great for returns and I was able to order a Sata II Crucial SSD. Granted, my mobo still didn't recognize the drive, but installing a cheap Sata III add-on card did the trick. Note: The Sata III add-on card still would NOT allow my older motherboard to see the Samsung Evo 840. Potentially, yes, but maybe not. Depends on a few things including your BIOS.

It is tricky wording. You will be compatible with Sata III drives but will be limited by the usb3 speed. Sata III is 6Gb/s usb3 is 5Gb/s.

Yes, this product will support SSD Drives that conform to using the SATA Interface. As stated directly from Thermaltake's web site "Supports all 2.5" & 3.5" SATA I/II/III hard drives in ALL Capacities"

I don't know. I am not an IT expert. I bought the item just like you did and I am having issues with the SSD in my laptop and assured it would work. It first would not read the operating systen after I cloned the SSD. Now it doesn't recognize the drive. I am a little ticked at the seller as I believe they knew there was a compatibility issue and lied to me.

I can't be positive since I don't have that model to test, but it has worked with every SATA drive I used it with, 9 so far, from 300GB to 2TB. Unless there is something very unique about it, there is no reason it won't work. The relatively small size should have no effect if the drive is in working condition.

hi, just to clarify, this board has 2 sata III connections which should work with any drive that is compatible with the sata standard. ssd or hdd even a bluray drive. make sure you have the black sata power connectors from power supply too.
198837
Yes it will work. I am however not sure the SATA III will be the improvement in speed that you might be looking for that a SSD would offer.
505076
Yes it will. Just not to full capacity. SATA 2 caps at 3gb/sec instead of 6gb/sec which the drive is capable of.

The SSD will work in any computer with an existing sata drive interface. You will need an adapter kit for a desktop to mount a 2.5" to a 3.5". You will be very happy with the over all performance of the SSD. Be sure to clone your hard drive or install a new version of OS and back-up your files.

Yes It will, this is a standard Msata ssd, very fast and the capacity is 240gb!

If I'm not mistaken it should work. I installed the 1TB in my Mac Pro which has sata 3.
757483
The short answer is, yes. Though the drive is rated to work on SATA 6GB/sec it is backwards compatible and should work.

Hey gopheer, I believe all SATA cables are the same. Some of the new ones just have clips on them to keep them more secure. These don't have clips but they work just fine on my SATA III 6gb/sec. It should work fine for any SATA SSD. I don't personally have a SSD but I do use RAID-0 with SATA III.
2136297
No. It will not fit alone. You will need an adapter (from mini pci-e to sata) like this one: mSATA to SATA Adapter BTW I bought the 30Gb version of this SSD and it failed within the 1st year of (less than little) use.

I don't know if it will. My computer is SATA III. Sorry I am not being much help for you!
