Upgrade a Thinkpad Edge e220s w/ an Intel SSD in 10 Steps...
Posted: Mon Apr 16, 2012 5:30 pm
I was frankly amazed at how easy this mod is:
Got a Lenovo Thinkpad Edge e220s? Want 20-second boot-ups and 5-second shutdowns, with blazing high-speed awesomeness in between? This weekend I upgraded my Lenovo Thinkpad Edge e220s laptop from a single 300Gig Seagate Momentus 7200RPM drive to a dual-drive setup with the OS & apps cloned to a new80Gig Intel mSata SSD. Since it was so incredibly easy, I've written up the mod here.
As a foot note, despite being a wonderful little laptop, a few weeks ago Lenovo began re-directing e220s buyers from its own website to resellers. And they seem to have removed the e220s listing from the top-level Edge line home page just today.
Feedback, comments, and tips from folks who've done similar are welcome...
