    Quick question, my m14x comes this week and I want to add an msata as a boot drive but can't decide. Should I get the Mushkin 240gb msata or Crucial m4 256gb msata?

    I got the Mushkin Atlas DX 240 and am super happy with it. Zero performance drop for the mSATA compared to a 2.5". I got it RAIDed with a Corsair Force GS which makes for a crazy fast array. I don't think the performance hit is worth the extra 16GB and if I'm not mistaken the Atlas is cheaper as well.
