Thanks. FIRST sucked away a LOT of my time, but was an excellent experience. Now though, I don't have to deal with the school's politics, so this has it's advantages. I just hate throwing things away, and have about 5 PATA 2.5" drives, two of which are quite new 120GB units. But I'm willing to pick up whatever works well. Reliability is key, which is why the SSD is tempting. FWIW, I know there are SATA to PATA adapters, but really don't know if to trust those.
