the sandisk 1.8″ has a zif connector and i’m waiting for that to come out. apparantly its faster than the samsung ssd used in the q1 ssd. i’m hoping a $500 price tag. i hope.

According to the PR: “The SanDisk 2.5-inch SSD fits in the same internal slot as 2.5-inch hard disks, so notebook manufacturers can switch to the SanDisk SSD without altering their hardware designs.”

It’s a Serial ATA drive so if you have a device with that interface, it should swap. I know the Q1 uses a ZIF-type connector and a 1.8-inch drive, so it’s not a perfect match. SanDisk does offer a 1.8-inch SSD but I believe it’s more expensive.

Do you know if these things are the same size as HDs? Could you, for example, swap out your Q1′s HD for this? Same interface?
