Description
A few years back I got this refurbished M1400 Motion Computing Tablet PC on eBay for about $500 and I used it for a lot of painting.Anyways years later, I was defragging the hard drive and the defragger somehow got stuck on this one file that it was constantly trying to defrag but I suspect the file was also being written by another program and so they battled it out over an entire week which resulted in HORRIBLE HARD DRIVE HEAD HARA KIRI.
Well, I went poking about on eBay for a replacement laptop drive and found this one hong kong seller who was selling these 32GB PATA SSDs (Solid State Drive) for like, $50 USD. The old drive was only 40 GB, so the small capacity wasn't too big a deal. What's really nice about the SSD is that it loads up a lot faster than the old netbook drive even though it only has 1GB of ram. No more sitting there grinding away.
I also had an unused Windows 7 Home licence that I got a while ago for another laptop that I didn't wind up using, and I also had an old USB DVD drive (also from eBay!!!) and I was able to use that to install the CD onto my tabletPC which has no drive of its own.
Then I dredged up my old licence of ArtRage 2 that I wasn't using either and got that onto the TabletPC and WOO HOO HERE IS THE INAUGURAL DRAWING YESSSS IT LIVES AND IT IS AWESOME AND I AM SO HAPPY AND AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

For $15 more you could have gotten a 60GB OCZ Vertex. SSDs are addicting... I have two on my desktop for no apparent reason.

The problem is that it had to be PATA (IDE) in order for it to be compatible with my old computer.
But yes, there are definitely some fast SATA SSDs out there and they are very affordable!

Yup, if you have a creaky old laptop...
Actually, it might not be a bad idea to upgrade any current laptops or netbooks with SSDs
