    So, I took apart my Y500 the other day and discovered the SSD slot. I've been looking around, but I can't seem to find a SSD that will fit this slot. It's not much bigger than a pack of gum and I've never seen such a small hard drive slot. Here is an image of the slot (to the right of the RAM:

    I'm looking for an SSD for this slot, what kind of specs/pyhsical dimensions should I be looking for?

    Thank you,
