I think that's still somewhat steep, considering that most people I know have more than 120GB of stuff in their notebook (I have 750GB 7200's in mine, and one is almost full!). What I'd like to see are say 500-ishGB drives going for about $200. Then I'll be interested.

If you shop around, rebates can be had to get a 120GB SSD for $140 now.

Any X220 will take an mSATA SSD. It goes in the slot where a WWAN card would go. The keyboard and palmrest have to be removed to access that slot. Lenovo has a video at http://lenovoservicetraining.com The native 7200 rpm HD in my X220 is working very well, so I haven't seen the need yet to spend $200 on an Intel 80GB mSATA - which would be the minimum capacity I'd install - just to get a few seconds faster boot. _______________________________________________ Thinkpad mailing list [email protected] http://stderr.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/thinkpad _______________________________________________ Thinkpad mailing list [email protected] http://stderr.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/thinkpad
