zif to IDE

Hello Everyone.

I have a toshiba mk3006gal 30gb going spare.

For a while I've been toying with the idea of swapping out my ssd from my A110.

Does anyone think this adapter will work or cause me issues?

or just go with MK3008GAL 30Gb 1.8" Hard Drive ZIF drive.

thanks!

The 50 pin female adapter doesn't look right to me. I used a 40 pin zif to 44 pin male adapter (also from hk) to copy my SSD win XP image to a desktop drive, then back to a Samsung 40gb zif drive. Speed is very good now, not to mention the extra space. Your MK3008GAL should be fine. I needed a "flip cable" for the adapter, but used a blue to white straight thru for the final installation.

I bought a 1.8" to ZIF adapter from Addonics through Amazon here http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0018S9RQG

I can plug that directly into the drive once I open up my Acer Aspire One AOA110-1626 (16GB SSD) and when I hook that through a 2.5"IDE to USB adapter (specifically this one: http://www.amazon.com/Coolmax-15438-CD- ... ef=sr_1_13 ) and plug into a Fedora 10 server it recognizes the drive, but I can't actually read to or from it so there may still be something wrong.
