That's what I was thinking as well as I know the mSATA can handle the hotter temp, but the adapter may not as it shows operating temp to 65c. I'll take one additional loop out of the equation and see if it helps. Seems like everyone is dumping the IDE drives (obviously as they are old tech) and they are getting harder and harder to find in SSD format. I found one of the Zheino 128gb's on ebay (new) for $65 so we'll see how it goes. If all else fails, I can still go back to the stock drive as it works fine and I have a backup image if it ever craps out I can just look for another direct replacement, but I wanted the larger music storage and that's why I went this route.
