    Hey guys,
    I think i've finally decided on the intel 520 240GB SSD Drive seeing that it has solid performance, reliability and customer service. However I need the 7mm version for my zenbook and I can't seem to find that version (240GB). Does anyone know where I can get it?

    I was also looking for one.. emailed the help line at Intel and they could not tell me why it was not available. I ended up buying the Samsung 840 pro.
    Ps removing the spacer from the 9mm version will void the warranty according to Intel.

    Its actually meant to be removable, its the same design they had on the intel 320 (which I own). I did not see any warranty stickers and the screws are standard phillips so if it does void the warranty, they can't tell.
