Tried the 128GB version of this guy, having high hopes. Doesn't boot.
It shipped with the ID already jumpered, but if you remove that jumper it apparently IDs as Slave, which is the reverse of how all actual 2.5 hard drives behave. The Wallstreet's connector extends into the jumper area, so it's not possible to fix this without modifying the connector. Given how the drive manufacturer got something this basic wrong I'm opting to just return it rather than bridge the points on the WS's connector and hope that fixes it.
The drives/manufacturer used to be called KingSpec, the name/brand change is apparently recent. I'm also seeing a number of bootleg KingSpecs out there that are obviously mSATA drives in one of those really really cheap adapter cases that have really spotty compatibility. | Posted by: s_pupp on 2024-03-06 21:15:14
That drive works fine in my Lombard, but I never got it, nor any other solid state drive of any kind whatsoever (when installed internally), to work in my Wallstreet II (PDQ). | | 1 |
