Can the transporter works with SSD disks?
1528724
From their official FAQ:Can I use solid state disks (SSDs) or hybrid hard drives (HHDs)?Since the Transporter is a network-based storage solution, network throughput is the limiting factor in file transfer performance. Adding an SSD or HHD would not provide any real benefit. At the time of product launch, the Transporter device will not offer the instruction sets required to work with SSDs or HHDs.

I'm sure it would but you wouldn't see any speed benefit from it since the 1-gigabit network speed would be the limiting factor. Do you have another reason for wanting to use an SSD such as a harsh operating environment or something?

Yes. However some reviewers have stated that the firmware in the controller does a better job than the OS-based TRIM. Either way, this drive has much better endurance than the first generation SSDs did.

I don't know; I haven't tried it. I am using "regular" e-SATA drives which work fine. Suggest contacting the manufacturer directly since they would know.

Yes, it will work. I purchased 2 of these converters. One holds a Samsung 840 EVO in one computer; the other holds a Crucial M500 SSD in another computer. But one converter could easily hold both drives for a single computer. Great product.

I would assume so, but after restoring my hard drive twice after the transporter sync scrambled most of my stored data, I wouldn't hook anything up to it. Mine is on a shelf, I sincerely wish I could return it!

No, you can't (i guess you're talking about RAM). I'm not quite sure about the SSD, but i have a 64 GB Micro SDXC Card in the slot, that's the same amountn :-P and it works perfectly.

Yes. And transfer rate is fast if the other drive is also 3.0. If not then it will be limited to the transfer speed of the drive

I don't see why it shouldn't work, but I have to warn you, the longevity and durability of this drive is horrible. Mine became a paperweight--the lights would turn on, and I could hear the platter spinning, but nothing would happen after that--after about 8 months with very light (manual backups only) use. The problem is their drive interface. I had to break open the case and was then able to salvage the actual hard drive--I think it was a Seagate--and put it in another enclosure, but since Buffalo uses a proprietary format, the drive was unreadable in a standard SATA enclosure, so I had to reformat it--all data lost. While it worked it was wicked fast, but it didn't last long, and I lost all my backup data. I don't recommend you buy it even though CNET loves it (that's where I learned about it).

There is NO reason it would not support SSD but due to the size difference the drives would not fit in securely. If you want SSD then look for a product with them instead of trying to modify this.

I'm very sure it will work with SSDs but you probably won't get the performance you expect. It would be more economical to get much cheaper HDDs.

It works with flash drives / USB sticks. HD use a lot of power to spin the drive. U may need additional pwr to get your HD to work. Other than that the device works as advertised. An SSD should have no problem and in fact a well made USB HD too.

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 think it would work fine. Neither is single use, and I used the adapter and software to do drive backups after migrating to the new SSD drive.

Yes, as I have three sets of SSD in raid 0 with three OS. The only thing is that the cables are not that long.

It should work fine once your desktop uses SATA for its hard drives (only old ones don't). Note however that this particular package does not include free software to migrate your operating system and data from your current hard drive to the SSD. You'll have to install and use your own software to do this. I recommend Partition Wizard, available from www.partitionwizard.com

Yes, but you would loose the performance benefits of a SSD on account of the bottleneck of SATA 1.0 interface

I've cloned ssd's with it. Can't remember if used for 7.2k or 10k drives sorry.
