Hey all,
I was toying with the idea of tinkering with my old dell Inspiron 5100 from 2004.
One thing I considered was an SSD, but as it's a PATA I heard that you can get an mSATA to IDE converter card that may fit in the 2.5 inch drive bay...
I can find some from HK for a couple of quid, or a more pricy affair (£22 ish) for a "LINDY mSATA SSD to 2.5 Inch IDE Drive Adapter"
Anyone got any thoughts on this? Don't want to spend a fortune but if the cheapy affair won't work it's no good
Anyone got any experience of using this method to SSD an old system?
