    I've recently been buying piles of E6x20 laptops, and one of the specs from Dell for an E6400 came back with the as "128GB SSD mini card". Ah-ha, thought I, it will be fitted to the mini SSD card slot internally.

    Alas, no. It came with a mini card SSD in an adaptor in the 2.5" bay. Interesting though. It's the same Samsung PM810 as the full sized SSDs Dell have been supplying. I may give it a go in the mini SATA port on my E6520 later, even though it doesn't really fit.

    well at least it's the Samsung part, Dell pulled this on me with a batch of E6410's but supplied them with a horribly slow Lite-On mini SSD instead of the Samsung's the ad promised.

    Errr... interesting. But this doesn't bode well for the mSATA SSD in the MINI or WWAN theory in the E6x20s, since they likely wouldn't go out of their way to get an adapter like that if it would work straight out of the box. :(
