    I have an A110 (originally had slow 8GB SSD) that I was going to upgrade to a Hitachi Travelstar that I bought.

    Question I have is does the flip cable really work or are these drives not compatible with the AAO?

    I have tried the cable from the netbook and ordered straight ZIF with blue to blue. So far with the straight and the original cable I've had no luck. I also sanded one of the straight ones to try it as a flipped tomorrow. Just put in an order for the flipped one too. Was the flip cable order and sanding a waste of time? Do I just need a new brand of hard drive?

    Hello, the hitachi drive should work with the original zif cable in the AAO. you will have to mod the cable a bit. I did mine last nite and it works. check this post on how to mod the cable to work: http://aspireoneuser.com/forum/viewtopi ... 4&start=70. just pay attention to where the pin 1 is. good luck and have fun.
