MOX G (Super Extension) with mSATA SSD not working

MOX hardware

Hi,

I have plugged a mSATA SDD (Samsung 860 EVO) into my MOX G and cannot access it (not seen by fdisk).
Any suggestion on driver/config needed to make it work?

Thank you for your kind support!

Dear joegreat,

welcome to this forum!

Unfortunately what you are trying will not work, there is no SATA controller on the G or B modules. Thus the disk will not be discovered. I tried the same with a kingston mSATA SSD an I failed, see: Using a MSATA SSD or M.2 SSD in MOX B Module

I switched to a USB enclosure for the mSATA at first, later I migrated to a USB-RAID-Disk-enclosure.

Thank you for the prompt answer!

So, the description about the MOX G about a “disk controller” is misleading and I will also need to go for a USB enclosure… :neutral_face:

Or is there a “disk controller” available to be plugged in? :thinking:

I think this description applies to a mpcie-sata controller, such as: https://www.startech.com/eu/Cards-Adapters/HDD-Controllers/SATA-Cards/2-Port-Mini-PCI-Express-Internal-SATA-II-Controller-Card~MPEXSATA22I or similar controllers.

There has already been some discussion on similar controllers. See: SATA controller on MiniPCIe
