Please read this entire listing before purchase:
NOT an old fashioned & slow IDE mechanical hard drive rust spinner.  Based on 2019-2020 production.
NOT "Yani" "WeirdSpec" whatever cheapo junk brand from an unknown, sounds made up, China brand buying up rejected IC's. The internals are quality. Each drive is individually tested.
This should last you far longer than any China branded no name SSD. This is due to the superior Sandisk 3-D NAND.
*Fast and Free tracked USA shipping with 30 day warranty*
This is an SSD in a legacy IDE / PATA 2.5" form factor for those that need a faster drive for older laptops. This is THE fastest storage solution available for these old systems and typically the only upgrade left that will actually make a difference if you have maxed out your legacy laptop.
Standard 2.5" inch hard drive form factor (same size and mounting screw-holes as standard laptop hard drives from Western Digital, Toshiba, Seagate, Hitachi, Samsung, etc.).
Please be aware that because the case is a plastic, rather than the machined aluminium on original older hard drives, it will fit tight. This could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on your point of view. It is very light and consumes less electricity.
Drives are individually tested on a Dell and Toshiba legacy laptop with Pentium M single core CPU and standard laptop PATA IDE 2.5 inch interface with two different interposers.
Due to the modern internals, the drive uses TRIM with a modern OS and automatic hardware-based internal garbage collection with a legacy / vintage OS. No special drivers needed.
Regarding a legacy OS: because the drive is modern, this housekeeping is done by the drive itself without the need for OS support. Regardless, TRIM functions correctly with Linux or modern Windows. If you wish to run TRIM on an older OS, use a Linux boot USB or CD.
This drive has been pre-partitioned (MBR single) & pre-formatted with NTFS w/boot flag on, to save you time and effort. If you need it formatted anything other than MSDOS w/MBR and NTFS, please send a specific message with purchase.  Please do your software / OS research first BEFORE purchasing. Drives are similar to photographs, if you require EXACT photo of drive you will be getting, please message before purchase.
READ:
If you order more than one, feel free to request the SMART data and drive photo for each drive (s) before purchase. If not, rest assured that your drive will have very, very similar SMART data and physical appearance to the listing. Guaranteed.
**To be clear and continue my over-honesty rants, know that this drive will be faster than any old school rust spinner drive you have in your laptop. This being said, do not expect miracles! You still have an old laptop with an IDE/PATA interface. This, combined with your OS, will have a certain amount of overhead. It will still be faster, however, please be technologically realistic and knowledgeable. There is a reason this interface is no longer used.

!!**NOTE**!! **!! WARNING!!**
*************
This drive was tested by a very helpful customer as NOT working on an 486 IDE BIOS/system. Therefore, please be aware that this drive may not work on anything older than a socket 7. For others, it has worked just fine on Pentium 4 mobile, others it did not work at all.
Another customer was very helpful and tested this drive as compatible and working on an older Mac (OS9).
Additionally, other customers have had problems getting this to work via external IDE to USB adapter whereas others did not. If you are using this to clone a drive, the correct method is to always install this SSD internally in your laptop, check that it appears correctly in BIOS, place your old drive in the IDE to USB adapter, then clone. The BEST way is a clean install.
You have an old laptop and if you place this SSD into a USB adapter to clone, you are attempting to force the your hardware to perform a digital transfer translation from an SSD/SATA {to} PATA/IDE {to} USB adapter and back {to} the PATA/IDE bus to complete the cloning process. This may be a bridge too far.
SERVICES:
If you have an older piece of equipment and just want it done for you or your company: a CPU/RAM/SSD upgrade, imaging, and refurbishment mail-in service is available upon request for your laptop. Please be aware that this is an expensive option due to shipping, insurance, and labor and is completely dependant on what you would like done and/or upgraded.
Professional services and consultations are also available for corporations that require hands-on services for legacy equipment, available in both English and Spanish.  Custom drive sizes with proven backup imaging protocols are also available for businesses.
Now, I'm not trying to talk myself out of a sale, but these professional solutions are only worth the expense if the equipment and/or data cannot be replaced or replicated. For example, industrial, healthcare, or professional equipment that is too expensive to replace, but currently works "just fine".
Please contact this account through the eBay messaging system if you wish to discuss any services and required timeframes for project completion. Initial payment runs through the eBay system if contact originates here.
RESPECTFUL REQUESTS:
Please do not purchase this to "see if it will work" or if you flat out do not know exactly what you are getting, what to expect, how to utilize, format, or install this SSD.
These drives are 128 GB units, which (like all drives) format out to just over 119GB using NTFS format. If you do not understand why this is the case and believe that "not getting the full 128GB" will upset you, please either Google the reason, contact me, or please do not purchase this drive.
Please write me before purchase if you have any questions.
Thanks in advance!!
