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.
