You will be assaulted with "New Hardware Found" prompts, when prompted for the drivers point the Device Manager Wizards to the IDE drive c:\windows\inf directory for Windows to discover the necessary driver descriptors, some devices especially modems and GPU's will manually entering the older IDE directory of c:\windows\system32\drivers for sys files and c:\windows\system32 for some dll's.ĥ. Leave the T4x existing IDE HDD inside the standard slotĤ. Setup the older "incompatible" T4x system to boot from the SATA ultraSlim HDDĢ. TIP: If you need to boot an older "incompatible" system from a SATA boot disk from a newer system:ġ. We have successfully booted all of the "incompatible" systems from the adapter and whatever SATA drive inside and this enables us to swap the boot disk from a z60 into an older T40 and XP will run fine after you install the drivers: That plastic nub can be cut, sawed or just snapped off with a decent grip and average size of pliers and it will fully seat into a T4 series ultrabay and recognize the drive.Īs far as compatibility or voltage issues, we had the same fears but so far we've never experienced any issues of compatibility or damage to Toshiba, Fujitsu and Western Digital drives when used inside the SATA Adapter and various T41 - T43's including T43p. There is a physical restrictor which is just a piece of flimsy plastic which acts as a protruding nub and prevents the SATA adapter from fully seating in older T4 systems.
It means your SATA device now can be a hot plug, hot swap and operate at a transfer rate up to 480Mbps and free up the high-speed SATA port in your motherboard.We've successfully used this adapter with older "incompatible" ThinkPads including T40 models. SU2-SATA supports USB host controller in UHCI, OHCI, EHCI modes. The maximum transfer bandwidth can go up to 480Mb/sec. It receives standard Mass Storage Device Class (MSDC) SCSI commands from the USB host and translates them into SATA/ATAPI commands then send it to the device in machine state, therefore it is close to zero latency. SU2-SATA is a USB 2.0 to Slim PATA (ATAPI) bridge board with direct connect solution to convert a standard slim SATA optical drive (ODD), including slim Blu-ray drives to USB2.0 devices. External power, USB pin header, and USB type B connectorįully compatible with all kinds of slim SATA ODDs, like CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, CD-RW, Blu-ray (BD), and DVD-RW drives.USB bus transfer rate: high speed (480 Mbit) or full speed (12 Mbit).Support boot-able USB2.0 (hi-speed) BIOS, transparent to OS no driver needed.Supports direct connect CD/DVD/BD Slim SATA Optical drives.
