NikoDG Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 Hey guys I'm looking for a 240-256GB mSATA SSD and the Mushkin Enhanced Atlas caught my eye. Do you guys think it will make a sufficient boot/app drive? Or do you think there is a better one I could be getting? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigball1 Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 What are you going to be putting this drive in? If you put a SSD in anything, its going to be a huge boost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 Which board will you be using it in? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoDG Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 It's going into a laptop, Alienware M18X R2 :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Capitan Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 It'll be more than fine. It's a good solid SSD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoDG Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 Yeah, unfortunately the mSATA only runs at 3.0GB/s due to a chipset limitation, but buying a SATA II SSD wouldn't save me much money/GB and would limit me to only 128GB. So I decided to pull the trigger before they go off sale, or sell out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I decided to pull the trigger before they go off sale, or sell out. Nice decision. In that SATA 3gbps slot, you may even put sata III SSD, and I don't think it will cause any serious problem.

NikoDG Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 Yeah, it'll just run a little slower than it is rated for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
