I'm using my old X300 as a replacement machine while my X220 gets working again (another thread). The 64GB SSD is becoming an ever bigger challenge since someone else uses the machine now. We've worked really hard to keep even 5GB free on an ongoing basis, I tried to restore my current emails and dropped it to <2GB!
Are there any limits on what drive I can use in this X300? Something analogous to the Crucial M4 D1 (7mm) vs. D2 (9mm) issue, I mean. Amazon Prime has a Kingston SVP180S2/128G for $219, or 256GB for $421; Lenovo 43N3406 128GB for $329 I'm also confused because many (e.g. OCZ Nocti, 120GB=U$140) seem to be bare circuit boards but then the Kingston has an enclosure. Kingston's memory picker is saying I want SSDNow V+180 which comes in 64, 128, 256. I think I'm misremembering a need for mSATA in the X300 when it was really for the extra drive in the X220 maybe? Crucial's memory picker says the X300 will take a WD Scorpio Blue HDD 1GB SATA-300 (5200rpm), is that right? The X300 only offered the SSD when new. Not sure I want to put in a HD but 1TB is intriguing at that price. The Kingston looks like the best price ($219 for 128GB) in a name that I actually recognize. And 5/5 on Amazon (only 3 reviews). Does anyone have comments on this drive? I'm thinking 128GB should be enough because it's going from 64GB (so expectations of keeping it lean).
