I wonder why they haven't upgraded the spinning hard disk to an SSD. Even on old hardware you'll find that often the HDD still presents a bottleneck.


I wanted to hold off on that upgrade until I found a source of reliable, high-quality PATA SSDs. Haven't looked into that yet, suggestions welcome!


If it really is PATA, my course of action would be to get a pata-to-cf adapter and get a fast and large CF card.
