Hi all,

With Samsung SSD getting hard to find (last 32GB one I say on eBay was $300, some company wants $800(!) for 64GB version) I did some web searching and found two other options:

ZIF PATA SSD drive can be fitted to x505 as those Japanese sites prove (use translate.google.com):

The 48GB drive (no housing) is on sale on ebay

Guess other ZIF drives (with housing removed) should work too?

Anyone tried this?
any experience (speed tests) with Mitac, KingSpec or this one:

Photoflash G-Monster 1.8” 50pin IDE should also fit:

This uses SDHC (6 of them?) internally, so with good quality.
