I would like to be able to use the xecuter connectivity kit on both samsung and hitachi and never use the mode B function. Is it possible to make it safe for both? what color should the Mode B light be for it to be safe for a Samsung? Will it Brick a Samsung drive if I use it? If it will is their anything I can do to it to make it safe?

I use it for my Samsung all the time and no problems. Just make sure the light is green. Or that both switches are in the up position.

Cool I was worried about it. Does the Eject button work? I am also using version 1.2 on the Kit is yours version 1.2 or 2? I have been looking around on their site and cant find direct answers. I tried posting but I guess my account is disabled until their admin looks over my activating my account. Thank you for your replies.

yes the eject button works for both drives

what i do is use it with mode b button down for hitachis and fopr samsungs make sure it is up i think if you use it on a sammy with the mode b button down (light red) then it will brick the samsung drive but tbh never tried it so wouldnt know

you can hot swap SATA hard drives from a PC PSU so I don't see why not.

First off, if you are having problems with enable 0800, I'd double check your disc. Make sure it is a DL disk, unless you have a 5.2v FW.

Secondly, as for the 10sec method, simply unplug the molex cable or 10-wire cable from the CK v1.2, and plug it back in

"Hot Swapping" will be fine for what your doing!

Samsung = Green
Mode B = Red

1- What do these switches do:

2- My "Mode" button is missing completely on my ODD molex power device, does this mean it's stuck in the on or off position and can I still flash a samsung drive using it?
