I have a Dell Latitude D430 with A09 BIOS. This laptop came with a 60GB Toshiba 4200 RPM HDD.
I purchased an 80GB Intel 310 series mSATA SSD from eBay along with a ZIF to mSATA adapter.
I verified the SSD works on another laptop with a native mSATA slot so either the ZIF to mSATA adapter isn't working or this SSD isn't compatible with the D430.
I tried reversing the cable as many have mentioned but no luck.
The SSD is now listed on eBay and I'm going to take a loss on it along with a total loss on the ZIF to mSATA adapter unless someone here can chime in and enlighten me.

I tried this but sadly wasn't successful.
