    I want to replace my mSata 240GB with a new 500GB (480/500/512 doesn't matter).
    I don't care whether it's a 2.5 or an mSata drive.
    Most important thing is that I want it to produce as less heat as possible.
    I will use it for my Clevo W230ST as my only drive.
    Obviously I want it to be as cheap as possible.

    Thanx in advance.

    Where are you located? If you're in the U.S. the goal is certainly an attainable one, price-wise...

    ^^^ GREAT DEAL!!! Set a browser favorite here: Solid State Drives (SSD) Deals | Slickdeals The highly rated Sandisk Extreme Pro 480 GB was recently $185. Mine stays ~ 30 C in an Asus G73JH (which does have a very good cooling system; the system idles ~50 C ) I am sure there will similar deals Cyber Monday
    If you prefer AMAZON http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-2-5-Inch-SATA-Internal-MZ-7TE1T0BW/dp/B00E3W16OU

    Not sure if you care but the Sammy has TLC memory, which means its longevity may be shorter than MLC and SLC drives
