If you are an owner of this lenovo laptop, then don't think of upgrading to ssd drive. It just won't work!
My bad luck led me to buying this laptop which I originally wanted to put my newly bought crucial M4 in it.
When the ssd is used, the laptop will just freeze, go BSOD, and do all sorts of stupid things! However, it is performing(the ssd) perfectly in other systems. I found this the hard way.
I updated the M4 firmware and haven't tried yet with the lenovo, but I don't think it will make a difference.
If somebody managed to get his ssd to work with this specific laptop, or found a workaround, please tell me.....I'm kinda of frustrated.
Here is a good read about it:

Hopefully lenovo will make a fix soon.
