With a limited to 100 MB/s interface, a PATA SSD comes to jam for pigs!
The SSD that we tested is an OWC Mercury Pro Legacy, an SSD uses a SandForce SF-1222 controller but is PATA interface. With a capacity of 120 GB, it is a pretty classic model outside its interface. Our test model is in the format 2.5-inch PATA 44 pins connector, but 3.5 inch PATA 40 pins connector versions exist.
