    So in theory, is the 64GB VAIO X faster than the 128GB VAIO X?

    Being that the motherboards on all VAIO X support only PATA and the 128GB/256GB models use a SATA SSD, does that mean the 64GB VAIO X is faster as the 64GB SSD is PATA and does not have to go through a SATA to PATA bridge? Thanks,

    P.S. I have confirmed that ALL VAIO X only have PATA support on motherboard. I have also confirmed that ALL revisions on the X from the oldest to newest used a 64GB PATA SSD and a 128G/256GB SATA SSD. There has been rumours that a switch was made on newer models to PATA drives on the larger capacities but that is not true. ALL 128GB/256GB models are SATA drives and go through an adaptor.

    This is the same story on the VAIO P... but the VAIO P with PATA to SATA is way faster, SSD wise, than the UX that uses straight PATA.

    If you put a Photofast or MTRON PATA drive in the X or the P it would be faster... but stock PATA vs SATA... probably not.
