    In my old Dell laptop, you just bought another HD mount kit and HD, and you could swap in and out with only 1 screw. No screw if you just locked it in and were ok with it.

    Why did they get rid of ths?!?

    they still use the one screw method... it can't get much easier than that. I think the latitudes have a lock and pull system but only on the removable media
