Hello All,
I have a Toshiba Satellite Fusion 15 L55W-C5257 15.6" ultra-portable laptop that came with a 256 Gb mSATA (?) form factor solid state drive. (The really small drives that look like a stick of gum.)
I have an extra 2.5" 256 Gb Samsung EVO 512 Gb HD sitting here doing nothing so I thought it would be nice to upgrade the laptop's hard drive.
I opened the back of the laptop and I was able to remove the mSATA SSD and there is even what looks like a "slot" where a 2.5" drive would fit, however, there are no connectors that will plugin to my Samsung SSD and the connector for the mSATA drive is just a very small socket that it slides into.
Assuming I can find a way to mount the Samsung 2.5" SSD inside the laptop would I then need to buy some kind of adapter/cable to go from my Samsung to the mSATA slot on the board?
Thank you,
Jan
