I would like to replce the spinning HDDs in my Deva caddies with SSD SATA drives.
I bought some cheap IDE PATA to SATA converter boards from eBay. I have removed the HDD, fitted the converter board, and then the SanDisk SDD in one of the Deva's caddies, and fired the machine up. It fails to see the drive there, and that is as far as I have got.
I know that someone on this group has done exactly what I want to do, but have searched and cannot find the post.
My suspicion is that the PATA to SATA board isn't working, or is incompatible.... Does anyone here have any clues?
Many thanks,
Simon B
