    Anyone have any information on these new drive options such as:
    Are these two different drives that somehow fit in the same housing? Or are they a hybrid like the Seagate Momentus XT? Anyone know make/model?

    Any chance that we can retrofit them into the older Envy 14?

    That mini-pcie slot is on the drive itself or on the laptop? Just wondering if it is possible to get a set up like this in my current rig.

    Mini-pcie slot is on the laptop motherboard, you plug the drive into the slot :p

    I'm pretty sure it's not supported in older models, as it would have been widely discussed already.
