Not true. Western Digital makes PATA desktop and laptop drives. Scorpio Blue series. 100, 250, 320GB sizes. 5400rpm though, but the cache wizardry has them performing much faster than that.eBay. AFAIK, there are no more manufacturers still building PATA drives, so you're stuck looking for used or NOS drives.
The larger 250gb and 320gb PATA laptop drives for PBs are 5400rpm, but because of their larger platter size, they run almost as fast as the Seagate and Hitachi 100gb 7200rpm drives.

You can go to Western Digital's site. Newegg.com also has other drive manufacturers that still make PATA drives.
OK.2.5" PATA drives aren't made anymore, haven't been made for a few years. And only a very few OEM's still make 3.5" PATA drives.
OK.
I'm curious though. Why can I go down to Best Buy and Frys Electronics and buy a brand new, sealed-box 2.5" laptop PATA drive made by WD, their Scorpio Blue series? Did WD stop making them and there is still original stock out there?
Why is WD still advertising them on their site?

I just did a Google search for "newegg.com western+digital+pata+laptop+drive" and came up with at least three hits, one for the 320 Western Digital Scorpio Blue, one for the 250 and one for the 80. Farther down is one for the 120GB drive.I didn't see any 2.5" on Newegg last time I checked, just 3.5" and the 2.5" on Amazon are NOS and running in the $2/GB range, which is totally outrageous.
mmhh ....I have a doubt ... and if I bought a ssd -IDE/PATA(120MB)
What do you suggest?
I apologize, I meant GB. jmicron why not?
