Hi all!

My research team is in the market for an SSD with an IDE interface. These drives would be used in an embedded controller for data acquisition during flight tests, hence the somewhat odd requirements. I'm not very well-versed on SSD technology, so I was hoping for some recommendations.

Currently we're using a 2.5" Mtron 32 GB SSD on an NI PXI-8196 embedded controller. However, from what I've gathered, it seems that the Mtron is a SATA drive while the PXI controller only incorporates IDE/ATA interfaces? I think I'm misinterpreting something, so I can come back with more info if requested.

The bigger and faster the drive, the better, although from what I've read it seems that ~130 Mb/s is the fastest we can expect to reach, which is acceptable. As far as price goes, we're looking in the <$500 range.

Thanks!
