Zeppo Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 I am using Renice K3VLAR 120GB SSDwith native PATA controller. I did the replacement myself. And if I can anyone can. It's probably not as fast as Leon's Runcore, but I paid it like $50 less then the one Leon is pointing to. And it works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gewitterknecht Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 (edited) I use Mach Xtreme Technology MX Nano SSD in my D430. It works well.

gewitterknecht Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 This is with a 1 year old Runcore zif pata Not bad - I forgot to mention that I have the 60 GB version which has considerably slower write speeds than the 120 GB and higher models. I was choosing between the MX Nano, the Kevlar and the Runcore and chose the MX because it was the cheapest and it was available. I paid 110€.
