remove wifi card replace with ssd? YES OR NO? -
06-10-2009, 04:42 AM
I know the SSD in the half pci-e slot is pata.
Is it possible to remove the wifi pci-e and replace it with another SSD that is NOT pata? If it is possible, I don't mind temporarily running with a usb wifi until I can hack the usb for internal wifi again. |

Each slot is wired differently.
In addition, the WLAN slot is physically shorter than the SSD slot, so an SSD wouldn't fit properly, as it was designed for a single sided card. |

i tried an stec 16gb in all the slots, wifi and wlan. i hear there is no way because there is no ide channel on the wireless slots. but i was thinking that you can install a runcore ssd and use the usb pins on the wlan socket. especially if your system does not have the wlan connector, you can solder the 4 pads where the conector goes that corespond to the usb bus to the usb cable for a runcore. i dont remember the pin numbers for the usb channel but they are available in other threads on this forum. i was actually considering this option until i decided to just buy a western digital passport external drive on sale.
