Title: IGT G23 ,,, 660 brainbox ,, extra ssd plugin ?
Post by: meggaman101 on July 22, 2022, 08:46:28 PM

Looks like there's a extra ssd plugin on the board , has anyone tried to use this?     its a   IGT G23 660 brainbox ,
or has anyone seen something plugged into that spot ?
If i can expand the boards drive capabilities  , how do i enable the sata 2 port to work ?

Why? You probably will run out of NVram before you can fill up a 80GB SSD.

It's just a basic board with a bios flashed to IGT specs.  There is probably is no way to access another drive.

From what I can tell, all 3.0 Brainboxes and higher came with 2 ports on the Main Board.

When plugging in the SSD or HD, either one will work.

I know this because one of mine had a missing contact and wouldn't work with my SSD. I just unplugged it and transferred it to the other port. Problem solved.

I can't see any reason why either one would not work. But I don't see any way to access them both at the same time. It's going to boot up one drive or the other and you won't be able to access any files on the 2nd drive.

Tried to plugin a SSD into the socket , but it's the same socket that the drive itself has ,
Can't plugin a male to male ,
So is this a interface socket?
