Repurpose/Advise for 1.8” SSDs

Hi all,

 

Was wondering if I could pick the brains on this forum about 1.8” Micro SATA SSDs…

 

Recently completed a buyback from a customer who had Dell blades with 1.8” SSDs. This format doesn’t seem to be particularly popular in the enterprise world, so I’ve tried using a few adaptors/converters on eBay but the performance is woeful…talking 500kilobytes a second (write/read). Which is at odds with 6G SATA!

 

The ideal solution would be to mount these in a 2.5” enclosure, which could be accepted in a standard PC or install a tray for a server.

 

Does anyone out there know of a solid converter or recommend any action with this these?

The ones you bought might just have been defective/scams. Ive used mSATA to SATA adaptors from AliExpress that work indistinguishably as a 2.5" SSD so you may try your luck there. You just have to wait 2 months or more after purchase.

You can also buy one on Amazon, which is essentially the same thing with its price marked up by 5 to 20 times, but you can see if it works first before buying them in bulk.

I mean it could also be your SSDs being defective.
