    Hi all,

    I attempted to install a Super Talent 128GB 1.8″ PATA ZIF SSD (FZM28GF18H) in my Vaio TZ and the BIOS fails to recognise it. I have tried pretty much everything, including resetting my BIOS, trying CMOS hacks to enable AHCI, etc. BIOS will not recognise this drive. The SSD will work fine in an external enclosure, so it's nothing to do with the drive itself. I've also searched on super talent's website and they don't appear to offer a firmware update for the drive, and naturally Sony hopeless dropped support for the TZ a long while ago.

    Anyone ever tried to get one of these working in their TZ?

    Thanks!
