Hello all,
Just wondering what you recommend for an mSata drive that is Sata II for a notebook. I was thinking about popping in the M4128-256, but since I won't be able to use Sata III speeds, is there a cheaper but just as reliable sata II option?

Thanks

Any Crucial or Intel mSata will do fine.

I had a Crucial M4 SSD, it has been nothing but amazing, so I'd be more inclined to go with Crucial.

I am looking for an msata and I am also going to go with Crucial msata 256 gb.

There was a deal two months ago that had a Crucial Msata on sale for $160 and I have been waiting patiently for months for a similar to deal to show up again.

Recently, there was a deal but only took off $15 instead. Also, Amazon usually sells Crucial msata 256 gb for $200, but jacked up the price to $230 when the deal came out to make it appear that you were getting an awesome deal (I have a coupon from amazon and I have been paying attention to the site each day)
