    PATA interface is rated at 133MB/S.
    SATA-I is up to 150MB/S
    SATA-II is up to 300MB/S

    There are fast PATA SSD and HDD, but SATA is more common, thus represents better value for money. Interface limits would kick in if using something like a X18-M Intel SSD. Mtron and runcore have fast PATA SSD.

    If you want to use a SATA 1.8" SSD in the mini 1000, consider creating an adapter as per http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=356421
