Hi Guys, do you think its possible to replace the harddrive that is in this VAIO PCG-9L1M notebook with an SSD.
I removed the old harddrive to have a look at it but it has something like 20/30 pins :)

Thanks in advance.

Looking at the IDE to SATA adapters, it does seem to add length to the setup, which on laptops is rarely spare length in the slot for the HDD.

Also an option similar to above may be to get an IDE to m.2 adapter card. a lot of them look like they take the overall form of the original HDD, but you can slot oa cheap m.2 SSD in there instead.
