    I was planning on buying this....

    http://newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=243

    but apparently they're back-ordered to mid June...

    I have a laptop coming and a 1.8" SSD to drop into it, but I need an adapter.

    There's also this...
    http://cgi.ebay.com/Micro-SATA-1-8-...emQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item439a7a4460

    but that would mean I would need to jerryrig some type of support.

    Do any of you know of another full sized adapter that will convert the 1.8 drive into a 2.5 drive? Since I'll be taking this thing with me everywhere, I'd like it to be as robust as possible (hence the ssd and the full sized adapter).

    Unfortunately one of the adapters you mentioned is back ordered, and the other is selling for an inflated price of 80ish.

    I was just wondering if anyone knew about other options.

    Thanks though!
