    Nice find, actually. It's a pity it's still relatively expensive, though it looks like a quality piece of work.

    The newmodeus adapter linked above is passthru,, so only good for 5V 1.8" SSDs, with only the PQI S518 having this spec. All other 1.8" SSDs by Samsung/Intel/Photofast are 3.3V. So need one of these instead OR some a very basic 3.3V adapter from ebay starting at $12US.

    US$39 1.8" to 2.5" SATA Adapter w/ 3.3v support
