Hi to everyone. Please, what kind of SSD can I install on an old HP Pavilion zv5000 notebook (year 2003 or 2004)? Thank you in advance and have a nice day. Piriponzolo

I have exactly the same laptop!

Just today I ordered one msata SSD 128gb and one msata to pata adapter.

25 USD for the SSD and 4 USD for the adapter.

This is an old laptop and I don't use it for years but it's in great condition and i decide to bring it back to life!

There are also some pata SSD but they are more expensive.

You can find the msata SSD and the msata to pata adapter on eBay or AliExpress

I made my order from AliExpress.

Hi, Lef Mykonos. Thank you for the reply and the very kind suggestion. You do well to bring to a new life this old notebook, especially with  a GNU/Linux distribution. I will try with your solution. Have nice day. Piriponzolo
