Recently I acquired an old Thinkpad R30 with the intention to use it for some casual 9x era gaming, at a low cost thanks to the dead CMOS battery. With the hard drive in this laptop being very old and slow, I figured it's time to replace it with something more modern.

Being a laptop in itself is my conundrum, what would be better, a CF to IDE adaptor or an SD card? Or even a msata to IDE adaptor, since I have a spare msata ssd kicking around?

I would try the msata to IDE

My retro collection: too much...

Considering I can get one for 16 AUD its probably a good idea. I don't know if the BIOS on this machine could handle accessing 240GB of space
