    I would like to get a SSD for my work laptop - can any tell me specifically what type of connector SSD I need? I believe it is parallel or a ZIF connector, but am not sure - I do know it is a 1.8 inch drive. Looking for something in the 64GB range.

    Thoughts or recomendations please. Thanks!

    Thanks very much! I can find one on ebay for $650 - but that is steep. I can buy an intel X25 80GB for that!

    Thanks again for the help.

    ^ I think that's SATA. The OP needs PATA or ZIF.

    there's only the 64gb samsung one and the mtron 32gb one worth considering.

    and i highly suggest the mtron 32gb one it's much faster. if you can get by by only having a low amount of storage.. :)
