The laptop does have E-SATA.  I see 32GB solid state drives at
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=32+gb+solid+state+drive+sata
and http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/search.asp?keywords=32+gb+solid+state+drive+sata.

They seem within my budget ... how likely is it that the existing
encryption on the Windows 7 drive will be an impediment.  If, within
Virtualbox, I fire up Win7, will I be prompted with the encryption
sign-in?  I think that is the behavior I want/need.

Any brands recommended or discouraged?
