    Does anyone know who the manufacturer is for the 128GB 7mm SSD? Doesn't seem to be intel since they offer a intel branded 160gb 7mm option as well. Too bad it looks like a second gen drive, with 250mb/170mb second speeds. That said, are there any 7mm SSD drives that will fit the T420S other than the X25-Ms? Seems to be a pretty frustrating limitation at the moment. Any 7mm hybrid drives in some manufacturer's pipelines?

    A de-shelled Intel X25M is only 2.5-5mm thick. Easy fix.

    Intel lists a 7mm 2.5" X25M in their product sheet. Has the same part number as the 9.5mm unit. Wonder if you can order a replacement 7mm shell to swap over in a 9.5mm unit?
