    I just bought a 32GB SanDisk SSD drive off ebay. It is zif and I paid $350. First off is this a good price? I think it is. Secondly, anyone know if it should just be a direct swap right? No other parts needed, just pop old one out, pop new on in I assume. Thanks in advance.

    that's a good price, but if it's a 2.5" size, it won't fit, as the TZ has a 1.8" form factor drive. if it's 1.8", it should work. give it a try and let us know how it went.

    I got mine Samsung 32GB SSD in a broken UX390N :)
    It's amazing deal because I can resell everything and keep the SSD for almost free.
