Can your laptop take an SSD? Gordon shows us how to figure out if your laptop is ready for a huge upgrade to an SSD Toffypops: Hello. I find this video flawed since you also have PATA connected 2. 5- SSD drives, which would FURTHER give compatibility for SSD drives. PATA-drives use the -old- interface for connecting drives, and comes in both HD and SSD flavour drives. Advantage here is that you can use PATA-drives that are SSD (no rotating parts) in older laptops to give them a new life. For office applications and such, often changing to a PATA SSD instead of a PATA Hard Drive would give a significant speed improvement and more protection for traveling. I find it strange that you did not mention that PATA drives are compatible with even older machines than 10 years old. SATA is the standard that came after PATA. PATA is the portable version of ATA/IDE drives.

I used my Fujitsu Lifebook 17 for 16 years. Last 10 years it was on Linux life support. 2 years ago I put an ssd in it. Its max ssd was a IDE 120GB. I bought a 100GB ssd and ide to Sata adapter that fit my laptop. I had to take the ssd board out of its case. Last month I replaced it with an LG Gram 17.

I installed an M. 2 SSD in my laptop last year and it ended up burning my motherboard. Now I am scared to upgrade my new laptop. Do we need to worry about insulation when installing M. 2 SSDs? All I see on YouTube is people inserting them and screwing them in.
