    Hi everyone,

    I purchased my Vaio TZ27GN (PCG-4M6P) about 18 months ago and the 100GB 1.8" ATA drive it was supplied with (presumably PATA) has now died. I'd like to upgrade to a 64GB SSD, but I'm not sure what kind I should buy.

    I'm also unsure about installation - I've found information on the TZ90 (is that similar?) and on some other TZ, but that one while it looks the same on the outside, it seems to have a 2.5" ATA HDD as well as a 1.8" SSD, while mine has a builtin USB DVD writer and a 1.8" ATA hdd :S

    Any clues greatly appreciated

    Thanks!

    RunCore 1.8" ZIF PATA is the best replacement for you.
    Go runcorestore.com to check the price and availability.
