A65-S126 Toshiba Satellite needs a SSD...

[PallindroneT3604]

Best SSD for a Toshiba A65-S126 Satellite...just one that'll bump the speed up. I don't need the fastest or most expensive...just a SSD for PATA/IDE....doable?

Thanks for the swift reply....I'm considering another 840PRO 128gb.....but was hoping that the PATA/IDE interface could adapted, (no SATA) have little experience with this. While the laptop model IS old (and slow), I have upgraded the CPU and maxed the RAM....I just need to address the PATA/IDE interface for an improved hard drive solution. Would I necessarily need a PATA/IDE SSD or would a SATA work, adapted, at lowered speeds? Anyone got experience with the adapters and this scenario for old 2004 Toshiba laptops? Could a SATA SSD work adapted w/a IDE-to-SATA adapter in this old laptop at a better data transfer rate than the original HDD? Any answer would be greatly appreciated!

editied - I'm a little sleepy and didnt realize this was for a laptop at first...

you probably won't have room to run a sata SSD with an IDE adapter on it so you're pretty limited in your choices.
