Hi all,

 

I've been given an old Toshiba laptop that uses a 2.5" IDE drive that is dead.

 

Anyone tried using a 2.5" to mSATA like this to use an mSATA SSD? I know I won't get the same speeds however it'll be a little better than an IDE drive.

a regular ssd would be cheaper and would honestly be better cause even if its slower the ide bottlenecks so hard it wont help

an hdd will use up all the bandwidth ide can provide

There are PATA hard drives.

PATA = "enhanced IDE" = ATA.
