The Samsung ones are usually OEM only, so if you want a low height 512GB mSATA drive, then Ramcity's a good source.
Otherwise, there's plenty of other manufacturers out there (Crucial, Mushkin etc also ship 512GB ones, but they are a bit thicker). www.amazon.com<http://www.amazon.com> has a bunch. I think there's threads on whirlpool.net.au on the topic.

I'm informed that these are normally supplied to OEM customers like Dell, Toshiba, SONY, and HP. [http://www.ramcity.com.au/assets/full/MZMTD512HAGL-00000.jpg] What is an mSATA solid state drive you ask? Well, it has the same (but smaller) internals as a normal SSD, only without the external casing. At a mere 6 grams, and just 5cm long, 3cm wide, and only 4mm high, it's an incredibly light weight and durable high-speed storage solution. It fits in many current model Ultrabooks, slim notebooks, and motherboards with an mSATA slot (or you can convert it to standard SATA with a SATA-mSATA adapter<http://sendy.ramcity.com.au/sendy/l/mdfD892S191fZVsF763kXNx8BQ/qxMDwfMpwnX7OH77XPEujQ/FO2q4AqSgX1xMvZiZ3ldlQ>). The Samsung PM841 has the smallest z-height we've ever seen, and so far we know it fits perfectly in Sony Z7 series notebooks, Samsung NP9 (Series 9) notebooks, HP 9000 series notebooks, Lenovo W530, Toshiba Z800/Z900 series notebooks, Fujitsu Stylistic Q700 series notebooks, and many others. ________________________________ Ian Thomas Victoria Park, Western Australia
