Hi,

 

I just got my MiniStation Thunderbolt with a 500 GB disk with the purpose of replacing the disk with a OCZ Vertex 4 500 GB SATA-II disk.

 

The device is glued together but I knew that so I was prepared for this - its basically not intentet to be used with any other disk than the one it comes with.

 

Now to the problem: The SATA-II controller in the MiniStation can't see the disk!!!

 

Is this know issue?

 

Will there be a firm update of the MiniStation to fix compability problems?

 

Sincerely

Christian Damsgaard

So basically your asking will there be a fix for you breaking apart the unit and using a disk that the caddy was never designed for?! Ehhh.... i doubt it!!

PM me for TFTP / Boot Images / Recovery files  LSRecovery.exe file.
Having network issues? Drop me an email: info@interwebsireland.com and we will get it fixed!

Yep - exactly.

 

I hasn't been able to find a thunderbolt caddie for my OCZ SSD which was why I turned down this road.

 

I watch this video on YouTube http://youtu.be/6Qu_tK5agnk" target="_blank">http://youtu.be/6Qu_tK5agnk were a guy replaced his disk with a SSD so I expected it to work.

 

But anyway - a bit strange that the controller isn't compatible for just any SATA-III disk :-/
