SpeedBump new poster Registered: 18/10/2000 Posts: 22	has any body tried converting the IDE in the Empeg to a Sata? so you can run a SSD hard drive in it? as this will fix the problem of hard drives going bad because of vibration. Stephen 090000576

You can still get PATA SSD drives. For example. I recently put one of the Transcend ones in my mk2a. _________________________ -- roger

toolman member Registered: 10/10/2001 Posts: 105 Loc: Wellington NZ	I am also interested in this question; I am considering something like this: http://www.addonics.com/products/io/adsaide44.asp as SATA discs are much cheaper, and PATA is not going to get easier to find in the future. Plus I want to go to SSD, and again, the SATA variants are significantly cheaper. I'm thinking I can fit this by mounting only a single disc sideways on the HDD tray. _________________________ ToolPeg: 010101886 Mk2a 120Gb GrillPeg: 010101956 Mk2a 80gb

Alex CF-Cards + adapters beat those on price and very likely equal them on performance inside an empeg.

They work fine in the empeg. Whoops, my mistake - I thought they were all new, but its only a new model (psd320). Alex

Daria carpal tunnel Registered: 24/01/2002 Posts: 3937 Loc: Providence, RI	my 320gb pata drive in my main empeg has been throwing occasional block errors and so i'm at least thinking about this now; assuming i need at least 240gb, what's going to win on a price standpoint these days? probably actually just keep buying 320gb laptop drives at $99/pop http://www.amazon.com/Western-Digital-Scorpio-Cache-Notebook/dp/B001SQH1DY until either SSD or CF prices drop?
