I have a G550 Lenovo, with a seagate momentus 250 GB hard drive. Will I be able to use this adapter to transfer data?

Generally if it has a standard SATA connection, it should work. The only thing I could see a possible issue with would be the encryption that the drive uses and if special software would be necessary. I don't know much about that type of drive.

this did not work at all, nothing. I then bought the SATA/PATA/IDE Drive to USB 2.0 Adapter Converter Cable for 2.5 / 3.5 Inch Hard Drive / Optical Drive with External AC Power Adapter and this worked. I was able to move all the data i needed to my new computer hard drive.

Yes and No. You must have a computer with a USB port.If the old hard drive could spin, this adapter will do the job of the computer.If the old drive is destroyed, you must seek help from people who could fix the motor.You will know as soon as you plug the adapter, the driver buzzes, and you will hear the spinning of the motor.My guess is that most driv

As long as the drive isn't damaged. I just recently transferred a ton of files from a broken laptop's SATA HDD. It should work perfectly. See my review on the order with which to connect everything. Basically, connect the power block to an outlet, connect the power cable to the drive, connect the SATA (or IDE) to the drive, turn on the power block and let the drive spin up for a few seconds, then plug the USB into the computer. Open the drive and start copying/moving files.

It is an external drive and I am not familiar with Lenovo mentioned so am not sure but I doubt it.

Hi Ernest, Here's what I found on the Lenovo Forums site - http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/T430s-mSATA-speed/td-p/767485. According to what they say here, NO, your t430 will not support this drive because the msata port is sata2 not sata 3 which is what this drive is. Good news is it does support SSD msata 2 so you need to look for an msata 2 drive....

as long as your laptop takes a SATA drive, you should be able to use this drive to replace it. The drive will detect the capability of the system and adjust its transfer speed to remain compatible

it should as most laptops have the same 40 pin connection if your old hard drive has a plastic pod then no it is a sata

Yes. Just about any 2.5" HDD Sata should work. SATA is backward compatible. Try to use the eSata connection when doing any kind of data transfer. It is by far the most efficient transfer method for this container. The real value of USB 3 is for USB sticks. For HDD it really lags behind sata 2 or sata 3. This container was truly built for the 1 TB SSD's. For SSD's this thing is the fastest thing on the market, of course using the eStata connection.

Looks like it is supported. http://support.lenovo.com/ae/en/documents/pd014572

Sorry for the late answer. Yes it should work fine. My setup is an E6400 running Win7-32 connected to a dual docking station with 4TB and 3TB (Seagate and WD) drives running 24/7. Additionally I use a 500GB laptop drive to transfer data via the adapter. For the price there is no better solution.Hope this helps.

I would check with the seller first. You should get the actual Lenovo adapter, as it is quite slim and easy to pack.

I used this on my Sony T Series notebook to replaced the existing non SSD hard drive. If your equipment is originally equip with the 1.8 hard drive then this should work. but if it comes with the standard 2.5 SATA then you will need an adapter. Thanks

If you can remove the hard drive and it has the pin configuration that fits the adaptor it should work.

If you haven't bought your hard drive yet, there are some that support USB 3.0 and ESATA, that may be your best bet. Use the ESATA now, and USB 3.0 in the future, when you replace that Old laptop.

Since I used a 1TB SATA drive, there is no reason the 250 GB drive should not work. Beware, your experience may be different than mine.

Yes, the connector is compatible. The drive will operate correctly but at USB 2.0 transfer rates.

If it truely is a mSata SSD disk then yes it very well should work, any and most mSata disk cards work with this adapter. Some have different shapes and sizes but according to your specs and looking at a similar laptop this will fit very well with the adapter. Let me know if you have further questions.
