Shorting 100729420 Rev B (Momentus Thin)

The read and write differential pairs are identifiable as two thin parallel signal traces running between the HDA connector and the MCU. They are terminated in resistors at the MCU end. The read terminator connects across the differential pair, while the write pair has a resistor on each side. Each pair of traces is of equal length, and they terminate at the HDA pads in a characteristic "Y" pattern.

Or just read AceLab manual.

You know, to the best of my memory I can't remember ever needing to short the read channel on a 2.5" Seagate. I'm not saying it doesn't come up, but seems to be more of a desktop drive necessity.
