    Owners of the Acer Timeline 3810T-6775:

    What model SSD is in your Acer Timeline 3810T-6775 ?
    Is it the 1st or 2nd generation of the Intel X25-M ?
    Please note when and where you purchased your Timeline.

    reference: http://techreport.com/articles.x/17269/2
    The second-gen X25-M's extensive under-the-hood changes are capped by a new skin. Gone is the black exterior of the old drive; in its place is a bare metal casing that's gone unpainted in an attempt to further reduce costs. A black metal shim has been added to bring the drive up to a standard 9.5-mm thickness, though.

    It's a good thing that there's a color contrast between the old and new models, because Intel intends to produce both as its customers make the transition to the new hotness. One may also differentiate between generations based on their model numbers: The old ones end in G1, while the new ones are tagged as G2.

    Thanks, sosorio.

    Here is another report that the X25-M generation 1 is what is used by Acer.

    http://forum.notebookreview.com/showpost.php?p=5152443&postcount=748

    I do not get why the 3810T with SSD is sold for US$50 cheaper than the 3810T with a 5400rpm 500GB drive when the retail price of the X25-M is about $260 and the price of a 500GB 5400rpm drive is about $90. Seems like the price of the 3810T-6415 should be $700 rather than $850.

    Wow, on Amazon, the 500GB and Intel SSD version are both $799, the 500GB HDD version dropped $100 in price since I got it.
