So, anyone who is a bit more in-the-know than I am? This type of SSD would fit as OS drive inside my little mini PC/NAS intended for HexOS. I cannot see a model number or such, and I just don´t want to guess. I got this picture from their support , but when you get web pages in Chinese sent to you, it´s a bit difficult to decipher the information

I found this https://www.longsys.com/products/solid-state-drive/ 

Not in Chinese

wow what a weird little drive. It has a sata data port on it but no sata power port. I wonder if sata data carries a bit of power too?

Honestly that just looks like the inside of a lot of 2.5" sata ssds

This is the inside of an old Samsung ssd

I wonder why mine looks so different?

Yeah, I found that, too. It seems to go under Industrial SSD:s on Longsys website.  Will open the Mini one of these days to have a look., maybe there is one like this sitting there?!  Since I gather it´s not always easy for anyone to get this type of industrial gadgets. I could maybe use something like GParted also to check, or get to the BIOS settings…

Gparted is a good tool. An even better tool is using the Dr Parted live ISO. So many cool tools in there. I have recovered multiple old disks that failed do to bad sectors and other odd behavior.

I think they are sold as 2,5” industrial SSD:s. Industry don´t need the polished outer shell 😉
