Default MC Pro with Internal SSD

Hi,
I've got 5 Euphonix MC Pro controlling Pyramix software. My question is not so much software, it's more hardware.

I would like to replace the internal HDD in the MC Pro with an SSD. One of the MC Pro's HDD is failing, so I'm thinking of replacing it with an SSD. We've found that the HDD, when it spins, makes quite an audible noise, probably because our MC Pros are old. So, I'm thinking of replacing it with an SSD in the hopes of reducing that noise.

Has anybody tried it before and what are the recommendations?

Thx and I look forward to any feedback.

Regards
Luke

I would also very much like to do the same in order to reduce the bootuptime.

The only solution is to find a IDE to Sata converter small enough to put in the mc pro

Something like that : http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002Y2...sr=8-1&pi=SL75

a CF to IDE might work like this http://www.meritline.com/new-dual-cf...--p-60222.aspx

CF cards should be around for some time, also should be easy enough to have a clone on hand
