    I have a 2710p that I bought on eBay.

    From reading the posts on this forum, I know can upgrade the RAM from 2 GB default to 8 GB.

    But the 1.8" ZIF PATA/IDE 80 GB original hard drive is sluggish.

    What are the best bang for the buck option now in August 2018 to speed up that hard drive?

    I read in the 2510p Owners Lounge that a mSATA to 40 pin ZIF adapter board and a mSATA SSD would work ?

    Or would a Compact Flash to ZIF adapter be the cheaper option?
