    I just got mine in today. Its a Toshiba MK2008GAL 20 GB. I'm planning on installing it sometime this week but I was just wondering if anyone had any idea how much battery time is lost by using these ZIF drives versus the SSD that is included?

    Acer publishes the SATA HDD model running at 2.5 hours versus 3 hours for the SSD version. I'd imagine the 1.8"drive takes less power than the 2.5" SATA, so it should be a loss of less than 30 minutes of battery time.
