    Anyone have suggestions for a decent mSata drive for my np9150? I have a Force 3 SATA III drive as my main HDD now and looking for something around 64Gb or more storage space.

    I found a ton of reviews on quality SSD drives, but reviews and suggestions for mSata drives are a lot harder to come by.

    Thanks

    I went with a 240GB Mushkin, but only because it was the only one in stock. :/

    To an extent, it won't matter that much because the mSATA slot is SATA2.

    I am using a 180gb ssd for my OS and main drive to run things from but looking for a little more storage for media without losing the disc drive to a HDD caddy. I haven't seen many people reference their Msata as a storage drive for media and maybe an install drive for games leaving the OS drive mostly empty.
