    Do you have the HP part number on it? Your Product # from the label under your system would help also.

    Its a Hp 2510p. With a Zif connector from the hard drive to the motherboard. The only thing that I can find on the connector is DD00T2HD001 REV:3A.

    This is the systemboard to ZIF HDD connector available for purchase. HP don't have a part number in their 2510P Service & Maintenance Guide or the Drives XP Guide, rather they have "80GB-4200rpm 451730-001 (includes isolator and connector cable)". You can see the original cable here, copied below.

    Oh.. BTW - what bios version do you have on your system? If it's older than F.0A can you see if you have a "SATA Native enabled/disabled" in the bios options?

    Thanks for your help. I will find out witch bios I have as soon as I get my pc running again.
    The point of this connector cable is to put in a Samsung SSD. Managed to break the connector when taking the hard disk out.

    I have now got my 2510p up and running again.
    The bios I have is F.0E and has no option of SATA in the bios.

    I have installed a Samsung 1.8 SSD.
    I get a average speed of 46.2MB/S in HD-Tune with an access time of 0.3ms.
    Is this ok? Or should it be faster?
    It only seems to run in Ulta DMA-modus 4, I thought it would be modus 6. Any suggestions?
    Thank you

    2510P's ICH8-M chipset supports ATA-100/UDMA5 with a theoretic maximum of 100MB/s, but measured at 87MB/s here. All Intel chipsets with a PATA interface max out at ATA-100. I can confirm my 2510P works at UDMA5 with the 1.8" Toshiba ZIF drive. Another 2510P user's mtron 3000 ZIF also works at UDMA5, benching > 70MB/s read performance.

    I'm not sure what the maximum supported speed is of the Samsung SSD you are using. Worth reviewing it's specs. Perhaps applying this registry tweak as well?

    The 64GB SSD that came with the laptop is UDMA 66. It should be around 50MB/s.
