A lot of newer ultraportable laptops utilize 7mm height drives and only a few come out of the box that way - Intel is really it thoguh Micron/Crucial have theirs with spacer which can be removed albeit possible warranty issues. Anyway, we need more 7mm height SSDs. If they can make hard drives that height they can do SSDs.
Fortunately many of these new laptops have mSATA supports as well so another option is mSATA + big hard drive...Reply

At least Kingston is using something other than JMicron trash this time. I'm still stunned that they bought a chunk of that company. Reply
