    Are we talking about the same thing?

    See:
    Newegg.ca - Plextor M5M PX-256M5M mSATA 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)


    Same ole MLC there too.


    As for which is better? The retail one (Plextor) is. The OEM Samsung gives me problems just thinking I wouldn't be able to flash a new firmware as it became available.
