tamas 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2011 (edited) After I checked Renice X3 (SF1222) mSATA SSD User Review, I decided to buy Renice X3 mSATA 120GB to update my X220i, but now MyDigitalDiscount is out of stock. I contacted Renice and brought this SSD from b2cit.com. I attached detailed update process, hope it can give you some instruction if you have not update x220i before. RENICE 50mm mSATA OK, let me take over the back side and disassemble the screws. 3、Turn back again and take out the keypad Be carefully, Keyboard slip connect with blue connector, plug it out lightly! Ok, Keyboard take it out. Take over back again and start to disassemble screws in row. Take out the back shelf. OK, Now, we can start to replace the SSD. Good. It rightly match with slot.

Find RENICE X3 in the BIOS Install system now System installed finished. Evaluate the SSD score, amazed me again, 7.8 scores. As far as i know, the highest is 7.9. At last, test it with CDM, 261MB/249MB, good results! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian 157 Report post Posted May 12, 2011 I feel pretty confident you work for Renice, but the post is actually interesting so we'll let it slide. We don't prohibit mfgs or retailers from posting here - just full disclosure please. Incidentally, I am curious as to what these retail for and whether or not you benched other mSATA SSDs in that machine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
