I have the fastest 2.5" PATA SSD available. Never opened, 32GB $75.
Thats probably not what youre looking for… But just sayin’.

OK to update this:
If anyone can beat this [http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148128](http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148128)
I’ll buy it tonight.
This is for an older laptop that isn’t worth much to begin with.

It should be easy to find someone with a drive cheaper than that… $50 is a whole lot for a crappy 80GB drive.
I have a 10.06GB 4200rpm IBM Travelstar i know works that came out of a 2001 iBook that never had any of my info on it… And a 80GB Apple Branded Seagate Momentus 5400.2 that im not sure if it works.
$10 for the IBM, and I dont know how to test the Seagate, but I think i remember having issues formatting it even though it spun up, has very low use, and is recognized by the OS. I just said screw it and used another drive. Nothing I own uses 2.5" PATA drives, and I dont want to sell something that dosent work. But id let it go for $20 if you can test it?
The rest of my PATA drives had my info on them at one time and arent worth enough to bother selling…
