They don´t exist. They are only available using 2.5" notebook SATA ports. Devices with IDE ports are getting harder to find as they are being replaced by SATA.

You must use a 2.5"/1.8" SATA to 3.5" IDE converter, this can either be an adapter box or a card.

I´m not sure about a computer internal card but you will usually find an adapter box which will convert the SSD to an external one.

Strange

First time I see one.

Anyway, are placing a WTB ad here because you want to buy one discounted or you are otuside the US and don´t have the means to order internationally?

PhotoFast Unveils 1.8-inch G-Monster V2 IDE SSDs
PhotoFast announced two 1.8-inch IDE solid-state drives under its G-Monster series. The two are demarcated by the interface, although both are IDE technically. The G-Monster 50 IDE V2 uses a 50-pin IDE interface, while the G-Monster 1.8" ZIF V2 uses a zero insertion-force IDE interface that's commonly found in portable devices such as PMPs, HD video cameras, etc. Both come in capacities of 32, 64, 128 GB, and offer transfer rates of 80/50 MB/s (read/write). The drives offer an MTBF of 1 million hours and are backed by a 1 year company warranty. Although there isn't anything spectacular about SSDs with sub-100 MB/s transfer-rates with the IDE interface, the durability of the drives over conventional hard-drives, especially for the kind of devices they end up in, may be their biggest selling points.

Although it barely introduced the G-Monster V2 drives, PhotoFast is already planning on letting loose the V3 line-up of 1.8-inch SSDs. Set to be unveiled at the Computex show next month, the V3 will be available in 32 and 64GB capacities, have 64MB of built-in cache memory and come in three flavors - with 40-pin ZIF, 44-pin IDE or 50-pin IDE connectors.

PhotoFast hasn't provided any read/write speed estimates for the drives. Pricing is unknown at this moment in time.
