Selling the 128GB SSD out of my X200s (haven't even used it yet, machine's arriving tomorrow). This is original Lenovo equipment, so it should work great across the entire Thinkpad line.

Samsung uses their own TRIM algorithm that ensures that it'll be fast for it's whole lifetime.

Date of manufacture is August 17, 2009.

$360 shipped OBO?

This SSD will be a 1.8" microSATA interface with whats called a storage converter. This storage converter will convert this 1.8" microSATA drive to a standard SATA interface so it can be used anywhere a 2.5" SATA drive is specified. Without the storage converter this drive will work in any X30x or T400s ThinkPad.

Is this storage converter included?

If you don't mind me asking what are you planning on using in your new ThinkPad for storage?

That could be right, I'm not sure. UPS said it'll be delivered Friday. But yes, all converters and whatever is needed to run the drive will be included.

I'm downgrading to a standard 7200 rpm drive for now to save some on the overall cost (and so I can get 500GB storage for some of my larger test databases).
