Lenovo T400S SSD Replacement

I have a love/hate relationship with my Lenovo T400S that I grabbed refurbished. The touch pad drives me crazy. The active tap area is a small portion directly in the center. The screen view angle is directly perpendicular only. The sound volume is treacherously low at times and defies solution, at other times it is fine.

All that being said, it is thin and light and works in a pinch or for travel. Replacing the SSD has always concerned me because of the 55mm height restriction and the 1.8 vs 2.5 setup. I ran across this possible solution. I use a laptop until assuming room temperature is officially irreversible so this may be useful.
