Dell Adamo Hard Drive Question

[Anduril66]

Hi the drive in question is a Samsung M158R- Samsung Thin / Caseless 128GB uSATA 1.8 MLC SSD SATA Hard Drive (M158R) from a Dell Adamo 13 laptop.

1.8 inch ssds have different connectors than 2.5 inch SATA and 3.5 inch SATA drives. Your picture looks like a standard 1.8 inch ssd connector.
