Did you set the jumper to slave on the adapter...?

Load times off of SSD are the same as other storage devices. The MPC is the bottleneck in this case.

Most of the bugs reported on the MPC5000 is due to is glitching out when you replace the hard drive.
SSD is great for computers but I would recommend against it on your 5k

Why? I'm using the 5000 on a daily basis for two years now just fine.

So I just bought an SSD and an SSD to IDE adaptor.

On the end of the adaptor's ribbon cable is a 40 pin female plug.

The ribbon cable that was connected to the MPC's original HD also has a female plug, but the two ports in the middle of that plug are filled in.

So if I was to get an IDE male to male gender changer, how would this fit?

Every gender changer I have seen has the standard 40 pins - have any of you had to snap these two corresponding pins off of a gender changer, but still had the MPC work successfully with an SSD?

I imagine if the MPC motherboard has no need for these pins, then the only issue is if the adaptor or SSD needs them.
