    I need some guidance here, I presume that this may have been covered before but I can't seem to get the search terms right
    anyways:
    I wish to find the correct 64gb SSD to upgrade into my TZ191 from the 32 it came with
    I think I need to know where to start looking and what are some of the specs that will make it an ez install . Something about the proper size and plug in configuration
    as an aside: I did opt for a 16gb express card,which didn't seem to be of much use to me as Vista o/s seems to take up most of the HD.
    thanks to all for any help

    **edit I wonder if this is the right one, or a beginning of where to look and what type?

    or this one..?
    http://www.driveyourlaptop.com/UATA_5000_1_8.aspx
    or is it supposed to be 2.5

    You need a 1.8" SSD with a zif connector. The 64GB that comes in some TZ's is manufactured by samsung. I think this one would work: http://cgi.ebay.com/Samsung-SSD-1-8-64GB-Solid-State-Hard-Drive-64-GB-ZIF_W0QQitemZ140265723117QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item140265723117&_trkparms=39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3A16|240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 someone double check me..

    Yes indeed. Shop around for better prices.

    Mtron Mobi 1.8" would also work. And faster than Samsung.

    Intel will releasing a 1.8" SSD as well, even faster.

    Haven't seen the Mtron 64GB 1.8" in a ZIF format yet, so for now I think you're stuck with either Samsung or Sandisk. DVNation has the 64GB Samsung ZIF in-stock for just under a grand..

    Samsung MCCOE64GEMPP-01A at DVNation.com

    You should be able to get the 64GB Mtron from Neostore.com when it's available.
