    was thinking about getting and installing this msata drive on my new machine
    Newegg.com - Kingston SSDNow SMS100S2/32G mSATA 32GB SATA II Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
    just a couple questions, with 32 gig would i install windows, chrome/internet browser, office will the space suffice >? do you personally think it is worth it for 80$? read is 140 mb/s and write is 90 mb/s

    or is this one better
    Newegg.com - Intel 310 Series 40GB mSATA mSATA (mini PCIe form factor) MLC Enterprise Solid State Disk SSDMAEMC040G2C1 - Enterprise SSD
    100$
    170mbs read
    only 35 mbs write :S


    of course msata would be ideal but would the best deal be to get this sdd 2.5 inch
    Newegg.ca - Corsair Nova Series 2 CSSD-V60GB2 2.5" 60GB SATA II Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

    put it as my main drive and put my current hdd where my optical bay is?

    Jul644,
    I myself have a Lenovo Y560 and installed intel 310 series mSata 80 gb
    My feeling is you will NOT have enough room with either of the choices you listed. I would wait and get larger size if money is of issue. Hope this info helps you.
