sony vaio vgn-sz2xp/c ide ssd ?

[joxxkirsxxdortmundxger]

Hello,

I would like to replace the HDD in my sony vaio vgn-sz2xp/c with a SSD HDD.

Has anybody done this?

Must it be an IDE- HDD?

Under SiSoft Sandra my HDD is with a SATA150 category- does this make sense?

Thanks for help

No, you have a SATA interface - so you will need a SATA interfaced SSD.

Have a look here for guaranteed compatible SSD drives for your model: -

But currently I habe a Seagate HDD IDE!

If I buy an SATA SSD how will I connect it?

Thanks for your help so far!
