I have also looked into alternatives for upgrading the hard drive, both in terms of space and performance (more the latter). I am looking at the Verbatim 64GB ExpressCard SSD, I haven't looked at mini PCIe options - so I would be interested in hearing if you get any further on that.
I think the disk/connector in this machine is a huge mistake in engineering - 1.8" PATA is a dead-end, and there will likely never been any more/better drives out for that configuration...

Try to use ZIF to mSATA adapter card with mSATA 250GB SSD hard disk
the only thing that can be troubles you is the power, if Dell XT uses max 1A for the motor hard disk 1,8
then the SSD specs must be under 1A... example 0.9A
