    Is it possible to swap out the 64gb flash drive in the Lenovo X301 and replace it will a regular hard drive?

    Nope. The drives on the X301 are 1.8" drives. I regular drive is too big. Supposedly there's a 1.8" 5400RPM drive coming. At some point in the future it may be possible.

    There are several 1.8" drives available. Too bad it can't be configured with one, would definitely bring the price down. I wonder if any of them can be used now.
