    I am getting the SZ450N/C, the other hand i have a PATA 2.5" 7200rpm that i bought just few months ago for my vaio fs, i wanna replace the SZ orignal 5400rpm with this 7200rpm, but now this SZ only takes SATA harddisk, so just wanna ask anybody know is it possible to convert the pata harddisk to Sata :( ..I found some adpator that convert pata to sata, but it seems only for desktop pc, and the size is way too big to fit in the sz. Hope someone can help or come out an idea. :)
    Thanks.

    No, not possible.
    I mean, teoretically it is possible but due to lack of space inside laptop it is not practical.
