I have the Samsung series 9 ultrabook (specifically the NP900X3A-B01UK). I am looking into upgrading the solid state drive. I am just hoping someone could confirm if the ssd in side the ultrabook is a msata ssd. If it is then does anyone know where I can get a msata ssd thats at least 500gb? I have seen this - http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=1AE175A7A5CA7304

Which I will go for if there is not anything of a larger capacity (assuming the ssd is a msata ssd). Would this be a good purchase or is there a better option out there. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Thanks for the reply kenrivers! I was unable to find the MSATA you mentioned but in looking for it I did come across this 512GB MSATA SSD which is made by Samsung - so its nice to have a Samsung SSD in a Samsung machine!!

Due to the thinness of the ultrabook it does appear as though it uses an mSATA drive. Take a look at this picture - http://www.notebookreview.com/shared/picture.asp?f=64029 The drive is just above the battery to the right (SanDisk).

SanDisk is going to release or has released a 512GB mSATA drive (http://www.sandisk.com/products/ssd/sata/x100-solid-state-drive/). I searched but could not find one.
