I've seen this question a few times already, but haven't found an answer. Can you upgrade a 2530p with an aftermarket 1.8 inch SSD? I see hp sells one for 1400...in that case I might as well buy a new laptop. I have already purchased (and returned) a 1.8 inch ssd because it physically does not fit in the 2530p. Can anyone offer a suggestion or maybe close up pictures of your existing SSD in your 2530p. I really would like to see the connector and what the drive looks like so I can try to find one for my unit.

Well, unless a very keen person otherwise very hard to find a person who is willing to open the case and take CU photos for you. There is a 2503p users group and they talk many things about this product. You can start from here:
Did you buy the SSD after market or did you buy the SSD pre-installed? What's the product number of your unit? It tired the 160gb version of that model and it didn't fit.
It's a Elitebook 2530p product number FU432EA. The original hard disc was the 120GB 1.8 modell.
I replaced it with an after market Intel X18-M 80 GB version, first generation (look for G1 in the product number). Have a look at Intel's spec sheet for the G1 model:
