Anyone have successfully upgraded their SSD on the X301?
Mine came with a 64GB SSD, I ordered a Lenovo 128GB SSD (Toshiba), but I couldn't get it to format on the X301, the drive itself is fine and works in a T410s.
Lenovo tech support is no help so I'm returning the drive.
Can anyone recommend a brand/model of SSD I can get that works?

The Crucial C300 works perfectly.
I made an image backup from the original SSD, put in the C300, did an image restore and away it went. Easy peasy.

Thanks, I'll try the Crucial. I can't believe a Lenovo branded SSD will not work in their own laptop, even though it's listed as a compatible part. Even worse, they won't provide any support for it unless it was purchased directly from Lenovo! (Yes, the laptop is still under warranty)
