mSata Drive=$370! for 80 GB

Seems rich to me. Up now on the W520 CTO us site.

Get it online for ~$180-$190 (Intel 310 80gb). E.g. here:

Newegg.com - Intel 310 Series (Soda Creek) SSDMAEMC080G2C1 mSATA 80GB mSATA (mini PCIe form factor) MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) - SSD

Don't forget the $10 off $50 coupon code (newgeek10 - you'll need to open a new account (use a diff. email)).

Another place to get it is Buy.com (there is a $5 off $100 coupon).

Installing the thing takes 2 minutes + time spent on reinstalling Windows.

 

Which with my billable rate brings it right back to $370.

 

I can perform a complete clean install of windows in 2 hours flat with all drivers and all windows updates, plus I don't make $80/hr so it won't go to back to $370 for me

 

Unless you are technologically challenge or have get pay 80 per hour, there is no reason to get the drive from Lenovo.

 

obviously you could do the reinstall one the new computer, while at the same time surfing the internet and posting responses on nbr.com on another computer - priceless.
