## Description

Buy

Review: Lots of Space for Retro Machines - Works great with a mSATA to IDE adapter, quite the space and speed improvement for older retro machines. Keep in mind that these won't do TRIM in the older machines and you are going to be limited to the IDE interface speed. However, since we're not writing 100s of megabytes to the drive it's not a problem.
Review: Good ..... - Works perfect needs to be initialised before use.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is there warranty included from Transcend?**
A: Yes, this item has a 3-year limited warranty.

**Q: Has anyone tried this in a LattePanda Delta 3?**
A: I have not tried it but this is an mSata device and the spec says eMMC memory typically attached directly to the board so different interface type.

**Q: Will this fit lenovo carbon X1 1st gen?**
A: No the drive required needs to be a 2280, from watching a teardown video it seems to require SATA connection but with a different pin-out.

**Q: Would this fit a Gemini laptop**
A: No, i think you will need a sata SSD that is M.2 2242
