Default Runcore SSD doesn't fit my mini 9 - 12-03-2011, 09:00 PM

I have recently bought a Runcore Pro IV 16gB SSD (S5016-MC) and cloned my original drive using the supplied Acronis software. However, when I tried to install it the screw holes don't line up (they are about 2mm out). The supplier says he has spoken to Runcore and they can't explain it, anyone have any ideas?

Well, even if the holes lined up, you bought the wrong SSD. That's a SATA model that will not work in the Mini 9. You need the PATA model instead, M5016C.

Thanks for the reply,

I bought it from an Amazon Marketplace trader who advertised it as "16GB RunCore Pro IV Light 50mm PCI-e SSD for Dell Mini 9 / Vostro A90", he must have sent me the wrong one.

Thanks again
