These are so new that right now the only way to get one is to buy the second drive option with the system. You can try Dell parts, but you'll likely be told that.
They originally wanted over $49, but I was able to talk him down to $20 ;)
$8 shipping, + tax ~ $30 total.
EDIT:
My assy arrived and there are (2) issues here... The first is that the drive needs to be SATA - that I could live with. The bigger issue is that someone decided that a 2.5" laptop hard drive was too big. The assy. will only accept a 1.8" drive, severely limiting both choices and performance. Not a wise decision.
From what I can see, the 2.5" would have fit fine, had they provided the right interface. :smileymad:

Thanks. I figured as much. I can't get through right now, so I'll try in the morning.
If anyone comes up with a part number, I'd appreciate it.
