Designed for older laptops and desktops with PATA interfaces, it offers shock resistance and a perfect mechanical fit to replace traditional hard drives, significantly boosting system responsiveness and extending device lifespan. ## Description NA Review: Great performance improvement for older Toshiba Satellite notebook - I have an older Toshiba Satellite M65 notebook computer from early 2006 that still has a parallel ATA (PATA) disk interface but a gorgeous 17.4" wide screen that I use mostly for web browsing, watching movies, remote desktop activities and running MS Office. Several years ago I maxed out its RAM (to 2GB) and installed Windows 7 Ultimate Edition (the machine was originally designed for Windows XP). Everything was working great but over the years with the installation of service packs, hotfixes, additional apps and utilities, the machine had gotten quite slow and I found the hard drive to be the performance bottleneck. After purchasing the 128GB Transcend PSD330 drive, I was able to clone my old 95GB PATA drive to this SSD, and installed it into the laptop; the drive fit perfectly, being the same form factor as the old 2.5" mechanical PATA drive (I just had to be careful to set the master/slave/cable select jumper the same way it was set on the old drive). After this change, my laptop is fast again; gone are my excessive waits browing the web, taking the machine out of hybernation, and even while starting it up. Although the PATA interface only runs at 100MB/s max (much slower than today's SATA disks), with this near-zero latency SSD the performance has improved significantly and is now more than acceptable for my type of use. In fact, the Windows Experience Index (for the hard drive specifically) changed to 5.9 from 4.2 after installing this drive in my notebook which is excellent. As you may expect it is very quiet as well (no noise at all). I can't comment yet on durability but everything else so far has been a great experience. I am expecting this drive will extend my notebook's life for another two years or so, which makes it well worth the money spent on it. Review: Works GREAT in a Dell Inspiron 9300 Laptop - I replaced a 100 GB HDD in my Dell Inspiron 9300 laptop with this Transcend 128 GB SSD and I have to say that it has been the best improvement that I could have made to this aging 9300 laptop. Not only do I have more disk capacity, but also the WEI subscore for the disk data transfer rate increased from 4.4 with the HDD to a significantly increased 5.9 with the Transcend SSD. This upgrade alone has made my laptop performance so much better. The SSD was easy to install and it fit perfectly in the drive caddy. I performed a fresh, clean install of Windows 7 Home Premium onto the SSD and Windows is running absolutely great on it. The SSD has breathed new life into my Inspiron 9300, making it a lot more pleasant to use with its increased performance. Note that the SSD packaging clearly shows a "Compatible with Windows 7" logo on it so you can be assured that it works with Windows 7 PCs. I would highly recommend this SSD to anyone that wants to replace a traditional IDE/ATA HDD in their laptop. It's been a real blessing having this SSD ever since I installed it. It's by far an excellent performer, and it runs whisper quiet. Definitely worth a five start rating. ## Features - Country of Origin: Taiwan - β– Products purchased outside of desertcart.co.jp are not covered under the Japanese Japanese warranty - β– Product Specifications Bus Interface = PATA Form Factor = 2.5 inch Size = 100.3 mm x 69.85 mm x 7.4 mm NAND Flash = MLC Capacity 32GB/64GB/128GB - Due to the wide range of embedded devices that use memory products and different usage conditions and environments, Transcend cannot guarantee compatibility with all devices and stable operation.

I installed it on Dell C610 and then install Windows 7 Home, though Windows 7 is running fine it has some limitations due to the lack of video driver. The installation of this SSD is also tricky, as it thinner than regular IDE laptop drive. **Q: my hhd have 80 gb of storage, so my question is th next: this ssd (124gb) will have problem with my sony vaio fs640? or is better buy a ssd of 64gb** A: The 128 GB is my choice. The 64 GB is less cost but it restricts the flexibility of your computer. Take a look at the dimensions of the SSD to be sure that it will fit your laptop. the **Q: Since this ssd will be used mainly with xp, does the firmware has trim function to level the wear ?.** A: TRIM is supported on this drive according to the manufacturer's website. You will need a third party program to send TRIM commands to the drive on Windows Vista and earlier (I don't have a recommendation for NT-based OSs), including Windows 9x and DOS (use Rudolph R. Loew's trim.exe from the Internet Archive, but it can only do FAT32, not FAT16). **Q: It will work for an old Powerbook G4 1.5Ghz 17 inch?** A: Based on the following research, I think the Transcend 128GB would fit and work.A larger memory upgrade may also be possible and worth trying.http://www.macupgrades.co.uk/store/machine.php?name=powerbook-g4-17PowerBook G4 Aluminium 17" Upgradeshttp://www.macupgrades.co.uk/store/machine.php?name=powerbook-g4-17#int-hddThe PowerBook 17inch's internal hard drive is very difficult to get to and is not classified by Apple as a user installable part.

I used a quality Vantec SATA / IDE to USB adapter, EaseUS Todo back up cloning freeware to move my entire old hard drive contents and OS before I switched out the hard drives.. Boot time is at least 80% faster, my data intensive charting software which used to take well over an hour to update now takes just 5 to 7 minutes. I'm not a super saavy tech guy, it went better that I could imagine, had jumper out as I initialized the SSD, moved my stuff, put jumper in as master for installation. I like that it was a perfect fit and match, comes with mounting screws too, tolerances are tight, I pulled off the old hard drive pin adapter and used it on the new SSD, that's simple enough but could be confusing if you didn't know that. Best upgrade for an older laptop in my opinion, I did upgrade the RAM memory and processor prior but this Transcend SSD makes this old Dell blazingly fast. ## Frequently Bought Together - 32GB Transcend PSD330 2.5-inch IDE Internal SSD Solid State Disk (MLC Flash) - SABRENT 2.5 to 3.5 IDE Disk Drive Convert Notebook Hard Disk Drive to Desktop (ADP IDE23) - SinLoon 2.5 to 3.5 IDE Adapter,2.5 Inch 44 Pin Hard Disk Drive Laptop IDE to 40 Pin 3.5 Inch Desktop PC PATA Port Converter Card Adapter(IDE 2.5 to 3.5) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/17336329-32gb-psd330-2-5-inch-ide-internal-ssd-solid-state](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/17336329-32gb-psd330-2-5-inch-ide-internal-ssd-solid-state) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
