Can anyone tell me if this would work with a Samsung (rebranded for Lenovo) mSata (PN = 45n8174) SSD? I am new to SSD and cant find the right adapter

Probably but don't bother. I got one of these for use with upgrading to a larger Samsung SSD and had lots of problems with it. The enclosure heats up VERY quickly and after a few minutes the USB connection dies and it disconnects from the system. It wasn't worth the effort to RMA it, but I certainly wouldn't buy another one.

I was using it with a Samsung 830 SSD as a boot drive (Mac) and it would occasionally drop off. (Disconnect) I contacted Seagate because I thought the adapter might be defective and they said this adapter was not designed to work with an SSD. The folks at the Barefeats website had tested the GoFlex with SSDs and told me they did not recommend it. I now only use it with an SSD for a short period of time, for example to get a large file off quickly.

A posting on Lenovo's forums says that it will boot from an mSATA drive, but you may have to turn SecureBoot off. http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/IdeaCentre-Desktops-Home-Servers/Installing-mSATA-SSD-as-secondary-drive-in-Lenovo-A730/td-p/1346889

I tried this with a lot of different mSata SSD´s and so far so good. should be transparent if you have a mSata SSD.

Hello Blake, While there is a slot available for both a mSATA and a regular SSD, the 120GB Samsung 840 EVO installed on the Galago UltraPro is a regular laptop SSD. Thank you for your interest in the Galago UltraPro ad please let us know if you have any other questions.

I can't say for certain if it does or not. But one way you should be able to tell is by checking the pins to see if they match; on your motherboard and on the drive. Most mSATA SSD ports should be compatible with most mSATA SSDs though.

mSata SSD. I installed one, it was very easy, apart from repositioning the heat sync, which was just lightly tricky.Note that doing this might void you warranty (check the maker's online documentation.).

Hi Ernest, Here's what I found on the Lenovo Forums site - http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/T430s-mSATA-speed/td-p/767485. According to what they say here, NO, your t430 will not support this drive because the msata port is sata2 not sata 3 which is what this drive is. Good news is it does support SSD msata 2 so you need to look for an msata 2 drive....

My experience is only as it relates to the NP900X3A-B01UB - Series9. But it seems pretty standard like it should work on all Samsung models of this type. All Samsung series SSD Ultra's seem to be plagued by the same defect as it relates to the power cord. I recommend you buy.

Alienware 14 ALW14-1250sLV 14-Inch ... This type doesn't have mSATA , you cannot install SSD. You can try another one

Don't know because each PC has different motherboard and even if it has a mini SATA (msata) connector you'll need to find out if it will boot from that port. Seems like the newest PCs are much more likely to have an msata slot but even when it does, it may not be useable for installing and O.S. I got 2 of these SSDs and most of the PCs I tried it with won't boot from there so I couldn't load Windows and use the other drive for storage as I planned.

This Adapter is suitable for mSATA (Mini SATA) only. I do not know about the interface of your Sandisk SSD.

If it truely is a mSata SSD disk then yes it very well should work, any and most mSata disk cards work with this adapter. Some have different shapes and sizes but according to your specs and looking at a similar laptop this will fit very well with the adapter. Let me know if you have further questions.

I am pretty sure it will work, I looked it up and your model has the same plug in as my laptop did. If you want to double check you can call Samsung, they helped me out to make sure mine was the same one. When I bought it there was a list of all the laptops it would fit so it should work. Its a lot cheaper than buying it from Walmart or straight from Samsung, they run about $80 from them.

Hello Otto, If the Lenovo system you have is "Lenovo Thinkpad Helix (2014)", then you can use any of the following SSDs: CT250MX200SSD4 [MX200 250GB M.2 2280] CT500MX200SSD4 [MX200 500GB M.2 2280] Also, if you order it from us (We are RRI), we will offer you a full refund in case it didn't work with your Lenovo Thinkpad Helix (2014) notebook. Thank you. RRI 05/27/2015 ++++++++

James: this drive should work with any laptop that has the same physical slot opening which utilizes SATA III. I installed this one I purchased in a Lenovo W700 laptop with no problems for months now. Keep in mind -- if you replace your existing drive with this one, most likely you will have to swap mounting hardware & the faceplate from old drive to this one.

I installed a Samsung 840 products ssd and it works great. Also, the included ram is inaccessible, however there are 2 empty slots easily accessible to add up to 8 more gb.
