El_Capitan Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 (edited) I finally had two SSD's die on me, a Super Talent GX 64GB and a refurbished OCZ Vertex 4. Coincidentally, both have Indlinux controllers. Anyways, I noticed that the OCZ Vertex 4 PCB had a mSATA connector available for it. Not really sure why. Looking through all the SSD reviews, it looks like OCZ was the only one that did this (even with different OCZ SSD's). Anyone have an idea why?

Waco Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 I'd bet it's for internal testing. I wouldn't want to test it on a board I cared about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Capitan Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 I guess that makes sense. I was thinking that they may have tried vying for notebook manufacturers to use their SSD's in their slim style notebooks, rather than going with traditional small-form factor mSATA's.

ir_cow Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 I think Wacos right. Before they slap the connector on, PCB boards can be tested with just the controller and or NANDS. If a problem is found they can fix it or scrap it before wasting more money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 I was thinking the exact same thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
