Which 240GB-256GB mSATA SSD would you guys recommend?

[Infamuz]

Hi fellow readers, I just want to know which mSATA would you guys prefer? Right now I have an HP DV6t-7000 Quad edition and want to change the spinning hard drrive into a mSATA. If you any suggestions please help me decide. Thanks! :thumbsup:

new Intel 525 series mSATA should be hitting the shelves soon, 30/60/120/180/240GB
Also, Crucial 256GB mSATA pops up occasionally at $169

I have 4 msata's all crucial m4's in 4 different builds. all are 256gb. I like them. but if you can wait newer ones size 500gb or 480gb are coming out.

OP, you say "Change the spinning drive into an mSATA", but that's not literally possible. Does your laptop have both an mSATA slot, and a normal 2.5" laptop HDD bay?

If so, then you might just want to replace the spinning HDD with a normal 2.5" SSD. (Make sure that if you need a 7mm height drive you get one like that.)

Sorry for the miscommunication. My laptop has both mSATA port and a SATA port. I was thinking of adding a mSATA as my main drive and the spinning mechanical for only data. By the way is $193.00 a good price for a Crucial M4 256GB mSATA?
