    You are correct . The ones you listed are 40pin & you need the 44pin . The connector is correct except for the pin count .

    Hi there,

    Rachel suggested that I post into your thread, as I am having trouble with my TZ 11MN and a Kingspec 64gb SSD.

    Basically, the BIOS sees the SSD in POST, but Vista Recovery Disk does not see the disk to load onto. I have tried cloning using Acronis and a USB enclosure, but no luck. The drive is visible in USB enclosure.

    TZ Guru, I see that you maintain a 44 pin ZIF is required, I count only 40 pins on ribbon/OE HDD/SSD.

    There are some photos here http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=446781&page=3

    Am I missing something? Any suggestions? Any help appreciated.
