    Hi everyone, I need to get a Samsung solid state hard drive 64Gb model number: MCBQE64GKMPQ-M1A. Does anyone want to sell his or know if Sony (I doubt it) or any other online store has the drive for sale? I don't mind if the drive is new or used as long as it works and has no faults whatsoever.

    Looking forward to your comments!

    Thanks all!

    Nothing on Ebay yet.

    I 'm looking to replace my old Toshiba hard drive with the same hard drive that the TZ model is using. I upgraded a couple of weeks ago to a Sandisk SSD but it created a conflict with my CD/DVD drive. Possibly to "master/slave/cable select" setting. Theoretically by upgrading to the same SSD that the TZ is using should be fine with my CD/DVD drive as the TZ has also built-in an optical drive and both devices (the SSD and CD/DVD) are connected with the same ribbon. So presumably it should be ok with my VAIO.

    Ive been looking for one to purchase as well. Unfortunately most online shops do not seem to carry that particular model. The only shop that had it was quoting prices in Yen.

    I am using the Intel 80GB SSD with my Z and works like a charm. I remember your post like week or so ago, saying it's either the SSD or the DVD-drive. Weird!! I had no issue with the Intel drive.

    This drive sold on Ebay has a different model number from the one that the TZ is using. The TZ is using : MCBQE64GKMPQ-M1A while the one on EBay is MCCOE64GEMPP-01A , I don't know if it will do the job, I suppose can anyone confirm?
