Since I had bought a new laptop (X121e), where you could block only hard drives with a height of 7 mm, it is good to know that you can convert this drive from the standard 9mm height 7mm easily and without warranty. There have only the 4 Phillips screws are removed, then the cover and the spacer can be removed. You should also a thin film (eg plastic wrap cut) lay between the cover and circuit board in order to ensure an insulation (this I had not only done and my computer crashed when pressure came on the plate). When reassemble simply the spacer has to be left out, but in this case, the screws used (M2) can no longer be used since these are now too long. By fixing with adhesive it lasts me however well.

If you have problems with one of the plates should occur I give notice here
Update (28/01/2012):
It should definitely be updated to the newer firmware 0309, as it could lead to a defect of the SSD otherwise. The speed of the SSD is neither fast nor long Sammer.
Update (27.04.2012):
New update is as 000F, this can now be installed without a CD directly.
Update:
010G firmware was installed on the 128GB SSD.
Update (05.01.2013):
the 128GB SSD had suddenly stopped working and is no longer recognized by the system. It was installed the following firmware: 010G. The refund by Amazon was easy, quick and perfect (after 1.1 years).
I have now switched to the Samsung SSD 840 series.
The 64GB SSD with the older firmware 0309 still works great (here I do not keep a firmware update).
