CK3 Mini

[riecep30]

I have a new CK3 Mini I'm not sure how to get it to show up in device manager ? Do I need drivers for it to work ? I don't see it in Jungle Flasher either ! I use the molex cable so I do see the green light for power and I can use the eject button just can't get it to show up in my computer . Some one please help me

The CK3 mini is just a power adapter, nothing more.

So I can't flash drives with it ? I have to buy a CK3i or USB prob ?

You need a way to power your drive ck3 mini is perfect then you need compatible sata card. i highly recommend the usbpro for your sata

Edit: doing a little research before purchasing an item should be a rule of thumb for any newbie.

It's just a power source for your drive. As already stated you need a compatible SATA card or usbpro for the drive to be connected and show on your PC for flashing.
So in answer to your question, No, you cannot flash your drive with the ck3 mini.

The CK3i can't flash a drive either. It just integrates with Jungleflasher to automatically power cycle the drive etc at the required time.

That is a good point you cant flash your drive with a ck3 mini having said that you can not flash your drive without it aswell ck3mini and compatible sata need to work side by side to flash any drive

Edit; depending on drive you may also require a probe 3, sputnik probe Kamikaze skills etc. Check what drive you have then reseach that drives requirements simples.

Thanks for the info , My Pc has several sata ports on my motherboard so i need to use the USB prob for flashing ! Cool thanks for the quick responses and great help !

Ok, this is where it gets a little confusing. The usbpro is recommended for all drive flashing as its faultless. I used to use my PC's SATA ports for flashing my BenQ and it worked flawlessly. When I started flashing other drives things weren't so easy. Some would work, others wouldn't. Slim drives don't play well with onboard SATA. So I bought a usbpro, problem solved. If you are flashing lots of drives its a usbpro every time. If your just gonna flash yours when new firmware is released, try the on board SATA and see how you fare, if it works, sorted, if not, invest in the usbpro.
