Can you use a Convergent Gemini 1.8" SSD drive with this?

you can use this adapter with any drives HDD and SSD's as long as they are 2.5" so the answer is no.

Yes, it will be fine. The 3.5 can fit into the existing bay that I installed 2 SSD's in. The Solid State drive can then fit sideways on the left side of the DVD bay screwed against that slot in one of those cheap 3.5 to 2.5 conversion racks. I almost did that myself because I wanted an internal card reader. I changed my mind. One bit of advice. I installed a 120mm fan on the inside of the right hand vents. It runs a heck of a lot cooler with that cross ventilation. I am typing on the unit now & it's running really good. I installed 8 GBs of ram and a video card though. Good luck to you.

Absolutely, you need to buy an adapter bracket for it to fit. One like this - 2.5" to 3.5" Bay Black Metal SSD Mounting Adapter Bracket Tray Kit

I'm sorry. I'm not all that up to date with SSD's. I'm not sure if it will work.

I also mounted my SSD to the bracket. I seem to remember having to really bend the power cable to get it to fit because there's not much room between the bracket and the drive.

It should, I've only used it with a crucial mSATA drive but it has standard screw mounts for them. Just be aware that this converts to the rarely used 1.8" form factor.

Had to dig up my boxes to get the model numbers, but I used a Silverstone SST-SDP08 3.5" to 2.5" bay converter to mount my Crucial SSD in. Worked without a hitch. Could have used the places designed for my SSD, but I did not like the access.

Yes it can, just like any other computer. These thin AIOs use the same sized hard drive laptops use I think. Double check the size before buying the ssd. But yes, a lot of people out sad in these AIO.

Yes. I bought a new laptop with Win8 and used it to swap the mechanical drive for my SSD drive.

I don't see why not. Just as thumb drives work on either system, so should any solid state drive.

Hi ChrisL, I imagine you've made your decision, but something important for others to keep in mind is this: this device will NOT work properly with large SSDs (256Gb and higher). If you google "Seagate Thunderbolt adapter disconnect" you'll see countless posts. So if you want to use Seagate drives, you'll probably fine. However, if you, like me, wanted to hook up a high-cap SSD for portable work, then do not buy this sucker. Apparently it's a power issue.

It won't be as fast as an ssd drive in the slot. You might look into moving your optical drive external and putting a drive in the optical bay.

I had some 2.5 to 3.5 SSD adapters that are for desktop installs. You can probably get one on the auction site cheap. I had 2 notebook drives in mine, fit well.

Yes. It does work with a solid state hybrid drive. It even works with a SSD.

Hi there, I do not think so, Apple has used a certain type of connector, look up OWC ssd upgrades they should have info on Mac ssd upgrades

I don't know the answer, I would suggest Dell should answer that. Or look for a model that has native solid state drive.

Dont know if it is officially supported but I have a Seagate ST1000DM003 drive that has been working correctly in the ICY Dock for a long while now.
