The Micro SATA 1.8 inch SSD-HDD to 2.5 inch converter is for using 1.8 inch SSD drives in laptops with 2.5 inch HDD bay. In simple words, it lets you use a small SSD or hard disk into your conventional laptop.
I bought one for just $5 from Amazon to try it out and it works like a charm. I had a 128GB 1.8 inch SSD from Toshiba lying around and I thought of using it on my Lenovo ThinkPad X120E laptop that is slow snail when it comes to performance. I came to the conclusion that only an SSD can rescue it but I did not want to buy one since I already had one at home.
This Micro SATA 1.8 inch SSD HDD to 2.5 SATA converter worked like a charm. It adds around 1 inch to the length of the SSD. Here is how it looks like with the 1.8” SSD attached.
After attaching simply slide it into the 2.5 inch connectors of your laptop. You may need to add some padding on the bottom so that it does not rattle. I added thermocol for padding. It works perfect and has solid construction.
It shall be noted that this converter does not works with mSATA drives.
Conclusion: It is cheap and it is functional. It lets you use your 1.8 inch SATA SSD drives in your big laptops. Buy it from amazon for just $5.
Few days back we mentioned steps on how to disable knox on international Samsung Galaxy Note Edge. Today we are going to teach you how to do it on T-Mobile variant.
Step 1:
1.1 Download the factory NK3 ROM (link below) and Odin the package. This is the full factory NK3, which means it contains the factory recovery, modem, system, etc. It will essentially reset your device to factory (without wiping the /data partition, so all your installed app and data will still be there). You will lose root. When you complete this step, your modem will also be on NK3.
This is a zipped file. You need to unzip to get the tar file for Odin. The extension will be .tar.md5.

Allwinner A83T is an eight core processor that is designed for cheap tablets. We had a chance to use the InFocus C2107 7 inch Android tablet for some time and the first thing we did were few benchmark programs to see how it fares with likes of RK3288, Atom Z3745 and Snapdragon S4 Pro by Qualcomm.
The Allwinner A83T specifications includes 2 GHz octa core that is based on ARM Cortex A7 architecture with PowerVT SGX 544MP graphics.
Allwinner A83T – 27942 Detailed Allwinner A83T benchmark.
Rockchip RK3288 – 37153
Intel Atom Z3745 – 33703
Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro – 20383
To give you an idea of its performance, it is faster than the Snapdragon S4 Pro that is being used in the Nexus 7 2013 tablet.
Allwinner A83T – 26138
Rockchip RK3288 – 21070
Intel Atom Z3745 – 29018
Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro – 15230
Allwinner A83T – 27942
Rockchip RK3288 – 37153
Intel Atom Z3745 – 33703
Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro – 20383
I will be honest with you – while these benchmark tests the raw power, all chips are speedy enough for your daily work.
After spending some time with our InFocus C2107, we have come to conclusion that the processor is powerful enough to handle most games, videos and web browsing which is surprising since I tis meant to be used in such cheap tablets.
The Allwinner A83T will be used in tablets that cost between 150 to 200 dollars.
