Would this work with Lenovo Helix? I've been told by another vendor that Lenovo Support states that not all msata drives work, they need to be m.2

msata and m.2 are different sockets, not interchangeable; you need to make sure you have the right one, maybe open it up and see

Hello Otto,If the Lenovo system you have is "Lenovo Thinkpad Helix (2014)", then you can use any of the following SSDs:CT250MX200SSD4 [MX200 250GB M.2 2280]CT500MX200SSD4 [MX200 500GB M.2 2280]Also, if you order it from us (We are RRI), we will offer you a full refund in case it didn't work with your Lenovo Thinkpad Helix (2014) notebook.Thank you.RRI05/27/2015++++++++

There is no mSATA slot, just a regular SATA III connection. There isnt a way we know of to hook up your mSATA drive. We've tried mSATA to SATA adapters but the N550 wont recognize it.

You only have to worry about two major things: form factor, which is whether or not it will physically fit the device (HDDs are generally only 2.5" or 3.5") and interface, which is how it electronically connects (usually SATA currently, but mSATA is here and you can still find PATA, SCSI and others).If those match, it will function. You might want bigger or faster or quieter, but it would still function.

I put it in my Alienware system. They are both pretty similar it should work, I would think as long as you have an Msata slot it should read it just fine. If it doesn't come up as My Digital, it will come up as generic drive. It is very fast for the price.

I don't see why it shouldn't work, but I have to warn you, the longevity and durability of this drive is horrible. Mine became a paperweight--the lights would turn on, and I could hear the platter spinning, but nothing would happen after that--after about 8 months with very light (manual backups only) use. The problem is their drive interface. I had to break open the case and was then able to salvage the actual hard drive--I think it was a Seagate--and put it in another enclosure, but since Buffalo uses a proprietary format, the drive was unreadable in a standard SATA enclosure, so I had to reformat it--all data lost. While it worked it was wicked fast, but it didn't last long, and I lost all my backup data. I don't recommend you buy it even though CNET loves it (that's where I learned about it).

I would not recommend doing that. Having owned two of these I can say that these "wanky" units do not respond well to any modifications. All the software is embedded in the unit/on a chip. Stick with Lenovo/Iomega's specs for the hard drives with regards to disk size and rpm. That is what I would do based on my experience.

I cant find any compatibility with M.2 NGFF formats under the laptop specs. So I would assume no, it is not compatible. It looks like you need mSata or regular 2.5" HDD/SSD

I believe this drive is backwards compatible with USB 2. I have the same drives and had no trouble with using USB 2.

The drive will work with a USB3.0 to USB2.0 cable. I didn't have a Firewire800 to USB2.0 cable, so I can't test that for you. These drives have all-metal casing and a very solid feel. I own two which are in my briefcase to store files (especially photo and video shoots) for which I don't have room on my laptop hard drive. I recommend.

Lenovo documentation says 2-3.5" drives and up to 4TB is supported. I've got a 750GB and a 1TB and plan to upgrade the 750GB to a 2TB. You can also run it in a RAID configuration if you like.

I just put a 3TB Seagate drive in one of these and it worked. One of my laptops had a weird issue, but other machines did not. TDMSERVICE.EXE consumed massive amounts of RAM (3+GB) a few times before it acted normal. A different laptop of the same make/model did not have the same problem. That first laptop has issues adding hardware anyways, so I don't think it's a combination of the enclosure and drive.

No familiar with Vantec enclosure, but if you have used previous Crucial M model in this enclosure, i do not see a reason why newer M series drive will not work. Please check user manual of your enclosure or manufacturer to confirm compatibility before placing the order. Regards Tony

I did not test it with THNSNS256GMCP but with five different mSATA SSDs and they all worked. It should work well with the Toshiba THNSNS256GMCP.

Hello Y. Miao,I don't understand very well your question. From what I read, you can't install this samsung 840 SSD (2.5'') on your lenovo yoga 13, because it only supports 1.8'' SSDs. mSATA is a different drive port on laptops. It has the advantage that you don't need a free SATA slot to install a new SSD or HDD, you can buy a mSATA SSD to use in this port.I think this video on youtube might help you choose what SSD to buy for your lenovo.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=At-Br20OAvgCheers

My experience would say yes, what you're asking is certainly possible and that you should also contact Gigabyte and/or provide more info to be sure. In general what you're asking is a common setup. You should check to make sure your mSATA port is SATA 3 also, because I have the feeling it might not be. I'm back because I became curious and did some homework. I foresee no problems and that you'll likely just have to tell it to boot to mSATA in BIOS. It also appears that your mSATA is SATA 2, if that matters to you.
