    Intel dropped their price for a 60Gb to $100 today and MicroCenter dropped it to $80. Now, how to shoehorn it into a toughbook!

    That is a good price but it is SATA and the one we are looking at is PATA/IDE.

    PATA SSDs are getting harder to find. RunCore is another brand I've come across that is still marketing 2.5" PATA SSDs (they also market 1.8" and ZIF drives), but I know little about the company.
