    Crucial C300 / M4 are both SATA 6Gb/s, and they both appear to use spacers that you can remove to make them 7mm.

    You can remove the spacer from the gen 2 Intel X-25m SSD drives. You can order 7mm Intel Series 320 drives.

    Some bonehead decided to make the Intel Series 510 9.5mm only.

    I'm hoping other manufacturers will follow and offer some 7mm drives. I'd love to see the performance on par with Intel 510 available for those with 7mm slots...

    My friend has this drive fitted in his Dell Latitude E6420 with 7-9mm adaptor. It's a pretty quick drive too with Read sequential speeds exceeding well over 300 MB/s the last time I checked.

    Do t420 and t420s support 6Gb/s?

    I misread as well, and thought there was going to be a x220s. But the Japanese person reviewing at the Japanese electronics show was just listing his wishlist specs for a nonexistant model.
    I just spoke to a Lenovo salesperson and he told me that they were not informed anything about a x220s, just the x220 and the x220t.
    My hopes are dashed now. Guess I'll wait for the 2011 MBPA 13" release.

    Does SATA/600 really matter to you? Intel's are SATA/300 but they perform just as well or better than some SATA/600 drives since their random writes are faster (whose speeds don't even saturate SATA/150).

    Yea, the resolution is the only thing I don't like about the X220. Be awesome if it came in 1440x900.

    who knows... there might still be LV/ULV options.   i just wouldn't expect a specific 's' model anytime soon.

    with normal-voltage procs running cool and quiet though, the need for LV/ULV notebook procs might be diminishing.   only time will tell.

    just my humble prediction.
