    i'm shopping around for new SSD for my W500 and i noticed that there are some 2.5" and 1.8" not sure which one fits into W500 and which one fits into X300 (i think X300 uses 1.8" but not sure)

    the ones im looking at is samsung 64GB the new SLC stuff or the samsung 128GB old MLC stuff

    thank you

    NO the connector is not the same. Most of the questions you're asking here and on the hardware board is already answered. Just do a google search, it's not that hard.
