    Hello together,

    does anyone have experiences with above-mentioned subject?

    I wanted to buy a SSD a year ago, but the seller stated that the drive would not run because of power issues.

    Not personally, no. But there is a member that makes sata caddies for the CF-18.

    I can however say that SSD works great on my CF-29 MK4

    Good job on this one. Since I don't use my TB in military operations and such, I think I'll stick with my Samsung160 or wait until I can grab a cheap PATA SSD.

    In my old CF-18 I used this adapter:
    ebay

    It's more expensive, but you don't have to solder, because the connectors are on the "right" side :)
    and It just worked perfect with an Samsung SSD.
