tandem:

Very (very!) interesting feedback; thanks for sharing.

Two questions: 1) What *specific* mSATA SSD are you using with this adapter in your X31?

2) Are you able to post any benchmarks for your SSD in the X31 (using e.g. the free "Crystal Disk Mark" SW --> http://crystalmark.info/software/CrystalDiskMark/index-e.html)... thanks in advance! :-)

For more information abou this adapter, see the thread --> http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=112081 "New SSD opt. for T4x : mSATA-to-IDE adapter ST663FD9"

Related information (about usiing SATA SSD's in PATA/IDE laptops) can be found in the thread --> http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=106749 ("GUIDE: Make your T4x *FAST* by replacing the HDD with a SSD!").

Thanks very much in advance for your replies to the above two questions.

Hi Johan,

I use a "Samsung MZ-MTE120BW mSATA interne SSD 120GB silber". I bought it novmeber 2014 at amazon for € 76,90.

I run hdaprm on my 32 bit unbutu 14.04 system with the following output for read operations ...
/dev/sda:
Timing buffered disk reads: 92 MB in 3.01 seconds = 30.55 MB/sec
