    I would opt for the Intel mSATA though they are near impossible to find these days again as nando4 has state due to the mass influx if laptops capable of utilizing mSATA drives.

    There is a bug with certain Lenovo ThinkPads rejecting mSATA drives that supposedly will be fixed by July from Lenovo via a BIOS update. Whether it affects the Edge I am not entirely sure.

    ohh man I really like to have a rapid drive in laptop but this is nearly imposible.first I was thinking about y460p but is still not out in UK, second I god hope that maybe HP EliteBook 8460p after this ThinkPad Edge E420s but as I see there is still some problem. Which laptop I get and install a ssd mSATA inside with any problem?

    Only Lenovo and Dell Precisions notebooks have adopted mSATA. HP Elitebooks need an optical bay caddy setup to do a SSD+HDD.
