EDIT: Did some digging in the Sticky, Found it. Thanks!
Can someone shed some light on the difference between a standard ZIF Cable used for 1.8" HDD and Flash Drive connections, and the FLIP cable I've seen mentioned here?
I recently purchased my AA1 and I've got a Hitachi 30gb 1.8" ZIF HDD I'm going to add to the mix. If I need a new ZIF cable, I'd like know what I'm looking for.
Some other real good information (Originally Posted by YUMMY):
You dont need to wait for the flipside cable, you can make your own. Take the standard cable and bend one of the ends.
