it fits in the slot no problem but every time i put it in if i have my laptop battery in or have it connected to power it turns on the laptop every time so if i put it in or take it out i have to have the battery removed and the ac cord unplugged. let me know what you guys thing.

Even though it fits into the Mini PCI-e slot, the computer it was designed for uses that slot as a SATA slot - but non standard connection obviously

So the SSD is made for a physical Mini PCI-e but logical SATA slot where your M17 has a physical AND logical Mini PCI-e slot

Sorry dude, but it will be a no go. Your best bet for something like that is the Intel Turbo memory - but this is getting pretty poor reviews thus far

Why not get 4GB of ram instead of the 2 you have...that will give you much better performance for a cheap price

 

yea i was just looking for a cheap and quick thing to do. and 15 bucks total sounded good but i am not sure
