Thank you
I did search through many laptop caddy pictures on eBay in the hope of discovering the same connector being used on a more common brand and model of laptop. Sadly I came up empty on that search
I am certain that I have seen this connector in older laptops, but it is a case of discovering which ones and they will be long obsolete now
As a side note, the GETAC laptops that I have are actually from the MITAC stable as GETAC is/was part of MITAC. I looked for consumer grade MITAC laptops on eBay to see if the same hard disk caddy or connector was used in older MITAC laptops. Sadly I also failed in that search for compatible parts. I was so fortunate to find ready made 3rd party GETAC M230 caddy adapter PCB’s as those caddy connectors are also challenging to find.
These laptops are using old series of connectors so it is no surprise that that are now a little rare in the required pin count.
