ide to sata converter for laptop

[demonikal]

I found the IDE to SATA converters for inside laptops on Newegg, but I just have no clue which one to get

I wanted to get one for my mom's laptop so I could install a small (120GB) SSD in there She has an HP Pavilion dv2000.

I figure solid state on an IDE connection will not make a massive difference. I already looked up SSDs made for IDE. They are super expensive. Way more money than many smaller storage drives that are SATA solid state

Here's the link to my search:

I've never seen ones you could fit in a laptop. It's a waste of time anyway.

Well, it's not a waste of time for me. Sometimes I like getting my hands "dirty" with parts of a whole rather than replacing the whole because it's outdated. I like taking stuff apart and putting it back together, as long as it works when it's back together again

I knew there were mSATA to SATA adapters, but that's small to big, so different idea. Thanks anyway.
