If we're starting a FAQ..

I believe the i3 and i5 models have a SATA media bay and not IDE like all the rest

Yes it is , my eyes were playing tricks on me

The Core i5 - 2540M 2.60GHz is a MK4 and the Core i5 - 3360M 2.80GHz is a MK5. That's the way it is on the panasonic d/l page and that explains why the 2.6 is a 2nd gen i5 and the 2.8 is a 3rd. Not trying to sound rude, just thinking out loud. That always confused me but it just clicked.

I used to have a CF-52 i5-2520, it definitely still had an IDE media bay. Which sucked because the DVD had died and by 2018 or 2019 you couldn't buy a "new" IDE laptop DVD drive that hadn't been sitting around deteriorating in a hot warehouse for 5 years or more.
