Fitting a solid state drive?

Hi, wondered if anyone could shed some light on this.

I want to fit a solid state drive to my Roadhog. I am aware of the possible speed issues but want to fit one as my desk got dropped yesterday and the hard drive is not well and want to prevent issues should something like this happen again.

Now, the Roadhog drive is IDE and all the SSD I have seen are SATA.

Will A SATA drive connect to the Roadhog motherboard and be recognized and install the operating system ok?

Any info greatly appreciated!

    From a technical standpoint, if the Roadhog used SATA, then it would be possible to connect a SSD and image the contents of a normal Roadhog drive to the SSD.

    However, Windows XPe does not have TRIM support, so you would potentially have very unreliable write performance as the drive got used.

    As for IDE SSDs, I haven't seen any. You are probably out of luck there.

    If you want the reliability of an SSD, your best bet it to build a portable Hog3PC machine, running Windows 7 (which [i]does[/i] support TRIM).
