Alan - No input jack in the car unfortunately and that is a good point on

overcome the road noise so something with little tiny speakers made from

The only thing you really need to care about with HDD to SSD
replacement is the height of the HDD, is it 9.5 or 7mm high.
The 6400 can fit both 7mm and 9.5mm SSD.
I would advise that you purchase a 7mm SSD because then it is more
lilely to fit in

I'll check out the Crucial brand of SSDs.
I feel the HDD is the "weak point" in my laptop as it's more than
enough in the other departments (Dual-core CPU, VT-x extensions, 2G
RAM, Intel graphics) for what I do with it.

Year old - that's a typo, right Keith? Because I can't imagine any child

current laptop hard drive. Generally laptop HD's are slimmer than 2.5"
drives found in servers and desktops.
For example, this SSD is 7mm think, they tend to range between 7mm and
