Does anyone know what kind of tape is suitable to use as (what I assume is) antistatic and heat resistant tape that is on the 7mm disk drives for removal assistance in X220s? I want to replace my SSD with a larger one now that prices are dropping and want to avoid using tape with adhesive that will loosen with heat or age.
Thanks.

Hi Wil*;
I am not sure what you had in mind = re "tape' .... but all I did was get one of those HD CADDY"s (from the forum sponsor above) - I got a cheap cheap one , - think they guy said he can give me 3 x t20 ones that he didnt sell much for $15 shipped....
and now I use those as SSD caddy's !! And I stick the SSD (buld inside of caddy with PLAIN COPY PAPER -to approx same height as normal HD - visual is ok) and ....
works like a CHARM !!
Might be sound crude - but I get so may pple ask me where I 'bought that'! .....as it look very professional ! and EASY STORE in my travel bags.
I swap out 3xSSD (MAIN BAY) in my TP (as I hate the NEW Lenovo two-handed ultraBay removal of devices) so I use MAIN BAY to quick remove/install and book off the Secondary Bay (ultrabay) on my W520....
I tired that 'tape' and found it frustrating and messy - after it gets 'warm' ....
Cheers
