Its really a pita that some laptop manufacturers uses micro sata for ssd...its mostly used by dvd drives instead of ssds....

This samsung 1.8" ssd only take in 3.3V. That's why you need a adapter to step down from 5v to 3.3v.

Because in those days, getting component size down was a big challenge. Apple's first Macbook Air was one of the first to use 1.8" HDD, and that was a mechanical drive.
