There are cheaper and better ones than intel. The Samsung 840 evo I believe is 7mm and is one of the fastest on the market.

9.5 mm is standard thickness for a laptop HDD; that SSD should fit in the same slot as the original HDD. Youll just need to re-install Windows after you swap drives (either use a clone utility or boot up with the HDD, create a recovery USB or set of disks and use that to install to the SSD)

I can't find a cheaper one than $99.00 that has the same or better specs. And thanks for clearing that up vortical.

@TechyInAz I've read that the samsung evo is a great SSD, and that Samsung is one of the top competitors in SSD's, but at $70 more, I can't see spending that much more for the slight speed increase i'm seeing. For just $20 more, I could get a second Intel.

And according to this http://ssdboss.com/ssds/Samsung-840-EVO-vs-Intel-335 the Samsung just barely beats the Intel. Definitely doesn't appear to be worth the extra $70.

These answers are next to useless, I just spent $200 on SSD's to find my laptop uses mSATA, a format I didn't even know existed. This is the exact reason I searched this topic in the first place: TO FIND OUT OF THERE ARE DIFFERENT SSD STANDARDS FOR LAPTOPS that I would need to check before buying.
My mistake for trusting the internet. Hope you all learn from my mistake. These forums are useless, open up your machine, it's the only way.
