re: installing ssd into x301

[elvair]

what kind of ssd fits in there ?
i understand it has to be 1.8 inch, what about height ? does it have to be 5mm or 8mm ? or whats the spec in there ?

many thanks !

apparently standard samsumg MLC supplied with x30* (samsung mmcqe28g8mup-0va) is 5mm height, 80gb 2nd gen intel is 5mm as well, and 160gb 2nd gen intel is 8mm does that mean that 160 is not gonna fit ?

I would like to know too, what's the biggest and fastest SSD that can be fitted to X301?

I plan to clean install Win 7 to X301 and might as well upgrade the SSD while at it.

Lenovo says 8mm fits just fine.

Yes, I will get rid of the old one if I get a new SSD.
