Will a standard solid state drive fit in this laptop? Like those sold here at Amazon, Samsung, Ocz, etc.

No, I don't think so. The space is too small. But the ThinkPad is great. I am very happy with it. It works great.

I don't know, but here are the more specific questions you should be asking:1. Will it fit correctly? There are two different sizes of 2.5" HDDs (normal & slim)2. Does the laptop support SATA II?3. Do you have the restore disks to reinstall everything? (Not specific to this HDD)

Yes you can. here is a link to see what kind of SSD drive available for this laptop http://drivesolutions.com/cgi/shop/ug2store.cgi?command=listitems&kind;=hpl&pos;=0&t;ype=itemid&itemid;=hpl283 Good luck, this laptop totally worth it.

Sorry I can't say that. I'm using it internally in a Dell E6430 with a SSD and there it fit perfectly.

You know that is a excellent question. All the specs on different websites say it has a 500Gb HDD with a 32GB SSD hybrid. Although when I search through my system properties I do not see the 32GB partition listed. Do you know exactly how I would know? I would think that the model numbers specs would be universal.

This is a thin (7mm) SSD that will work anywhere a normal 2.5" spinning HDD will work - and that describes almost any laptop. If you're replacing a 9mm drive you might need a small soft shim cut to the shape of the drive, to make sure the physical fit is snug enough so it won't rattle around. The SSD can be formatted as needed, and can be used with any popular OS. Plug it in, format (if needed) and go. I put mine in an Acer Chromebook and restored back the ChromeOS - without formatting - in a few minutes time, with excellent results. Nice speed pickup. Very pleased!

This one has regular SATA internface, it should fit all laptops / computers that run SATA. However, this drive is in 1.8" form factor. You will need adapter for sure. With Samsung 840 256G for less than $160 on Amazon, why would you want to go for this smaller model with more money?

Not required for laptops! This bay is designed for desktop computers with HD bays. Your laptop should have a space designed for an SSD and this SSD has various screw holes in it (screws included) that should fix it inside your laptop just fine. I cannot say for sure as I do not have experience with your model but I do know SSDs do not usually require bays when placed inside laptops.Enjoy the awesome upgrade!

I bought that computer for my son, he loves it, no problems. Unfortunately I don't know what a ssd drive is, nor does he, so I can't give you any info on that.

I haven't done that so I can't completely answer but really any SSD should work in it. This laptop really boots up fast compared to a regular HD. I suspect it is one of the new hybrids.

No. It will not fit alone. You will need an adapter (from mini pci-e to sata) like this one: mSATA to SATA Adapter BTW I bought the 30Gb version of this SSD and it failed within the 1st year of (less than little) use.

I had some 2.5 to 3.5 SSD adapters that are for desktop installs. You can probably get one on the auction site cheap. I had 2 notebook drives in mine, fit well.

I don't know the answer, I would suggest Dell should answer that. Or look for a model that has native solid state drive.

99% likely; so long as your laptop is using the hard drive it came with. The stock hard drive for the described laptop is a 2.5". This OCZ Vertex is also a 2.5" drive size (a.k.a. form factor). As an added bonus, here's a Youtube for your laptop and how to remove the existing hard drive. link: http://youtu.be/KJ71Txxb6k8Regards,

No. Standard 5400 drive. I added an Msata and took out the mechanical drive and added a Samsung EVO 840 SSD drive (7.5mm) and this machine screams. This unit has no Msata installed as is, but the case is easily opened and adding an Msata to the empty slot is no big deal.

Most of the ssd are universal to fit any computer regardless except for desktop then an adapter is required. Hope this helps

You would need to check the specs on your specific model to see if it has a replaceable PCI Express Solid State Drive
