Can't get to work with my 7mm SSD. I even watched the video on how to install, but no drive shows up on computer.

It won't be an ideal fit, but you should be able to install the drive without the converter. If the computer shows the drive, it's a problem with the converter, if not you may need to reformat the drive.

My only experience is with the Icy Dock and a Samsung 840 Pro SSD. In that case my first attempt produced the same results you saw. Checking things over, I realized that I hadn't made a full connection although the SSD appeared to be in the dock. With a bit more care, I was able to make a connection and the computer found the drive.

You can test the SSD as Hockeysam suggests, without IcyDock using a cable. If the SSD works, double check the way it is installed in the IcyDock. You watched the video so you see it can be tricky to get it fully seated. I believe the IcyDock is a passive device (i.e. it just extends the connector, no active electronics) and so it is pretty unlikely it is defective, although possible. The vast majority of reviewers indicate no defects. It is a very simple device so unless the plastic is broken...

Looks like your IcyDock is showing the same symptoms mine experienced a while ago. There is not much you can do, please take a look at my review of the product at https://www.amazon.com/review/R3VNK57RJ78SC5/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B002Z2QDNE&linkCode;=&nodeID;=&tag;=

Try another drive. If it recognizes a different drive, it is not an issue with the adapter and is likely a bad drive.

I put a 3TB in it and it does not recognize the entire drive. I have 746.52GB unusable space on the Disk.

Yes you can use it, but one problem is that, Some drive bays have a height of 7 mm, while others have a height of 9.5 mm. Depending on the size of your drive bay, you may need to use a spacer to make your SSD fit properly

There's no mSATA port in external chassis. Inside the laptop it should have a mSATA bracket to install mSATA SSD. We can verify with MSI next Monday.

Ram memory is soldered so it is unexpandable. You'd have to purchae the variant with 8GB by default. SSD is mSata so you can expand manually.

I have no idea, I have the 500 GB HDD version, not the lower storage capacity SSD version.

I'm using a "Crucial M500 M.2 2280 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CT120M500SSD4 " that I caught on sale for $46 for boot and antivirus, with a 500GB ssd for pgms and a 1TB for snapshots and data. No problems with install from optical disk, no problems running Win7. Not any faster than a standard ssd. Consider what you will do when the M.2 ssd fails, do you have a back up replacement ready to go? Or will you revert to a standard ssd?

My SSD did not come with a cable. I believe there are other items that come with a cable.

Yes, it is compatible with 7mm drives. The drive mounts at the bottom of the caddy with four screws that are provided with the caddy.

Works on mine, running the same. It just shows up like any other USB External Hard Drive would. Just remember not to force the drive into the case. (They may ship you the wrong screws at first)

I had some 2.5 to 3.5 SSD adapters that are for desktop installs. You can probably get one on the auction site cheap. I had 2 notebook drives in mine, fit well.

Yes, I did put an SSD in and it works! I bought it in mid 2013 and prices were pretty steep then, so I bought a SanDisk 64 GB Solid State Drive with Low Power Consumption SDSSDP-064G-G25 (on Amazon). The issue is size, it should have the right dimensions and then it just slips right in and works.

as far as i remember it was 9.5mm. we swapped to kingston v300. if you have 7mm ssd you shouldnt have problem since it fits both 7 and 9.5mm.

I bought that computer for my son, he loves it, no problems. Unfortunately I don't know what a ssd drive is, nor does he, so I can't give you any info on that.

IIRC, there were some plastic clips about the length of the SSD with pegs that go in the screw holes of the SSD. It should slide in and lock to the 2.5" slots
