Careful, even with an adapter you can only fit a drive with a PATA
("IDE") interface, _not_ a SATA one.

The Mtron MSD-PATA3018 that is very popular for fitting into the
X40/X41 only ships with 32 GB and is already at ~1.5 times that
price.

I don't think there is any SSD available that (1) can be fitted
into an X40/X41, (2) is available in 64 GB or more, and (3) has
reasonable performance for small random writes.
It's frustrating as hell.
