The original X301 64GB and 128GB Samsung SSDs are definitely in the "very old models" category. They were manufactured in 2008, well before TRIM became a standard feature on SSDs. Personally I would throw the old SSD away and install a modern mSATA SSD using an 1.8" micro-SATA to mSATA adapter instead. In any case, that's what I've done on my X301, which originally had the 128GB version of the Samsung SSD. Note that there are reports of mSATA SSDs not being recognized properly, without the exact mechanisms being known. So google the success stories before going down this route. And just to be clear: No, you cannot install mSATA SSDs in any of the mini-PCIe slots on the X301. And no, it does not support 2.5" SSDs. There are 3rd party adapters for the DVD slot, but that slot only supports PATA drives [1] so this is not recommended - for the primary drive anyway. [1] I've been told the optical slot is PATA because all SATA DVD drives at the time were thicker. The X301 DVD drive is exceptionally thin.
