    Or does it only support 1.8". If so could someone recommend me a good make/model?

    No. Only dual 1.8" drives or a single 2.5". As for a good model that does do dual 2.5" drives, I don't have any ideas.

    I'm curious about this. I know HP offers a 160GB SSD + 250GB HDD option. That HDD is obviously a 1.8", but aren't the SSD's 2.5"?

    Doesn't particularly matter to me as I got the standard 320GB drive and will be replacing that with an SSD this summer when they're a bit more developed and affordable.

    No, it's the Intel X18-M.

    Oh, I see. That's interesting. Those seem rather expensive compared to HP's upgrade pricing though. Maybe I should have went with that then.
