upgrade integrated SSD HDD of gigabyte z68xp-ud3-issd mobo

[ksfahim]

I was wondering if it's possible to upgrade the tiny 20gb SSD drive integrated in gigabyte z68xp-ud3-issd motherboard. I successfully installed lion in the ssd but the problem is, 20gb is very tiny for installing other softwares on it. The ssd harddrive is not FIXED in the board, it's pinned like a processor.

let me know if anyone knows the solution.

These should be mSATA SSD's, which you can upgrade by undoing the screws and replacing with newer, larder ones. I am in the market for one of these as well.

OCZ reviews say theirs run fairly hot.
Intel seems to have the best reviews but are one of the priciest.
Kingston seems to have the best price/GB but performance is on the lower end.
There are a few others as well but because the mSATA SSD is fairly new with limited market/demand, very difficult to decide.

There are probably more qualified folks on the board for further input.
