    The main SSD is a caseless 1.8" uSATA drive. It doesn't use the standard 2.5" SATA drives that you can normally buy (unless you don't mind removing the CD/DVD drive and replacing that with an SSD drive)

    I suppose that some of these are drives that you could potentially use: http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?L...p&_sticky=1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_sop=2&_sc=1

    See the following thread for the main details: http://forum.notebookreview.com/sony/511578-how-replace-ssd-vaio-vpcz11-vpcz12-non-sony-ssd.html

    If it is the Z1, you could replace the optical bay with a standard 2.5"..

    Just to throw it out there.
