    I'm pretty sure I have a single board but my serial numbers do differ in one letter:

    ^Good guess. Even the double sided boards have 2 controllers and show up as 2 drives.

    I replaced the drive was acting up with the new SSDs I got on Ebay and everything seems to be working fine.

    I am curious as to whether there is an adapter that will let me run the Samsung ssd from a VPCZ1 in an external drive bay (I don't know what to call that connector that they have).

    Is there any kind of adapter that takes that drive to a regular sata connector or else an external drive bay that is already set up to do it?

    It's generic name is something like a LIF connector. Through a very quick search I haven't found anything to connect it to a standard SATA connector.
