Runcore msata SSDs and Thinkpads

I'vee recently read about these SSDs. They seem to offer superior storage and speed to the intel 310s. Some links:
RunCore outs T50 6Gb/s mSATA SSD, SandForce speeds included -- Engadget
RunCore Elite 50mm mSATA SSD - RunCore SSD,PATA SSD,SATA SSD,PCIE SSD,ZIF SSD

Has anyone had experience installing these into their thinkpads, e.g. T420s?

In particular, I would like to know about -
1. compatibility
2. reliability
3. performance: can thinkpads fully utilize the 550 MB/s read and 470 MB/s write speeds?

Thanks

Thanks. So that means that it's compatible but cannot be run at its optimal speed?

 

yeah the upshot is it'll run at sata II speeds, I was going to get one for my t420 until the guy posted his findings on that thread.

may as well pick of the better SATA II ones, I'm going to wait and see what the new intel ones are like I think.

 

Thanks man! How do you mean by 'the new intel ones'? So the successor to the 310 is coming out soon?

 

yeah the "paint creek" ones are supposed to be coming in q4 this year apparently - i don't know much about the specs of them really but maybe worth hanging on a few weeks to see what they're like
