I've got an older laptop that I'd like to soup up with a sata ssd that I just have happened to have lying around. Is there anyway to squeeze it in there? I believe they are both 2.5.
I'm considerin just booting off of it as a USB drive ( i have an external enclosure) but I figure the IDE port would be faster.
Is there such a mini adapter? ( converter)
If I have usb2.0, could it be potentially just as fast to boot off of the USB port?
If you have USB3, then you'd get the same speed. USB2 will be significantly slower though. – Matthew Scharley – 2011-03-16T03:43:59.220
