    Anyone know if Adamo SSD can be swapped out after the fact by the user. Can one buy the 128 gb model and later get 256 and do the install yourself? Is it a standard size SATA SDD?

    It's a standard 2.5" SSD with the case removed. The interface itself is standard but you may run into height issues or warranty issues if removing the case of the SSD. There are people that have swapped in other SSD drives into the Adamo in the main Adamo thread if you're inclined to do some searching.

    It is a 1.8" SSD. 2.5" won't fit.

    My bad...I was reading the specs on the MLC and thought it was a 2.5" b/c the dimensions are listed as 53.5 X 77.7 X 3.40 (mm) which is 2.1"x3"x.13"
