    Does anyone know what SSDs the Latitude E6400s from the Outlet has? They all just say 64GB SSD, with no indication of whether they are is the Ultra Performance or Mobility SSD. (I would guess the latter from the prices.)

    Well, for what it's worth, I have an E6400 with a 64GB Samsung MCCOE64G5MPP. The catch is that I bought it real cheap from a guy who pulled it from a D630.

    Now there is an older version of this drive with slower read/write speeds that was used in the X300 and possibly in some older Dells as well; since Samsung hasn't released a successor to this drive and since I don't think Dell would opt for a faster Mtron or a cheap MLC drive, I think it's reasonable to assume that the Performance drive is the newer Samsung and the Mobility drive is the older Samsung.

    Just a guess though. You'll have to wait for someone who didn't cheat on their E6400 SSD for the real answer :p

    EDIT: Oops, I just realized this speculation has nothing to do with the question at hand.

    EDIT2: I took a look at the outlet, and I've got another speculation: most of the 64GB SSD E6400s are priced around 1100 to 1300, but there are a couple that go up past 1400 in the far back. I'd venture that the bulk of the machines, the 1100 to 1300 units, have the Mobility option and the rest of the units, the 1400 plus ones, have the Performance drive.

    They all look like the same drive to me, I assumed the price difference was due to the faster CPUs. I think I may call then tomorrow morning and find out. A laptop for less than a $1000 with a decent SSD would be a pretty good deal. Thanks for your help.

    EDIT: Wow, that was a nice deal. ;)
