    Hi guys!

    I'd like to upgrade my M14x R2 by replacing the 500GB 7200rpm HDD with an SSD.
    I've looked around a bit and I could get the Intel 520 240GB (SSDSC2CW240A310) for a fairly cheap price.

    But I am not sure if this SSD is compatible with my notebook.

    If it's not compatible, what comparable SSD's would you suggest?

    Thanks a lot!

    - FH

    The m14x r2 I know has sata 3 support so the SSD you have in mind should be fine and should offer a nice boost in performance
