Mushkin Enhanced Atlas Series MKNSSDAT60GB-DX mSATA 60GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Pros: Tiny
Fast
Better value than ssd options from lenovo
Free return shipping

Cons: The first unit was defective. It was recognized by the system but couldn't get through installing windows 7 x64 without stalling indefinitely.

Other Thoughts: First drive was defective. Does anyone test their products before sending them out the door anymore?

The replacement unit has been working without issue as the system drive for just over three months now.

Pros: Great price. Works in a Dell mobile workstation using the mSATA slot.

Cons: none

Pros: using as a cache drive with intel rst... works well in my dv6-7xxx had to revert from f.13 bios to f.0a bios to get the drive to be recognized but that is no big deal

Cons: none as of now

Pros: Can't tell yet.

Cons: Considering how difficult it is to source M2 x 3 screws locally, I don't see why any product that requires them wouldn't include them. Don't assume that the motherboards should already include them. I may end up spending $10 to get two little 6 cent screws.

Pros: Amazing performance. I also have the chronos ssd 240gb and when i bench it surpasses chronos enhanced.Gives me rated performance and free up my hhd slot to use with a high capacity mechanical .So I have the best of both worlds.Awesome product I hope it lasts.I have it for 4 months on my lenovo edge E420 with no issues.

Cons: None yet

Other Thoughts: It was discovered by my bios with no issues.

Pros: Very fast, even on SATA 3gb/s

Mushkin is an awesome company

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Boots Windows 7 in ~12 seconds after POST.

Pros: Stupid Fast

makes a laptop more versatile.

Cons: could be cheaper?

Other Thoughts: Im going from a highend water cooled Desktop to a mid range Alienware laptop & knew there were going to be some cons.

fortunately with the M14x R2 supporting a mSata slot (with RAID) those cons were considerably cut in 1/2.

I can now run my system exactly how i ran my Desktop. im running the mSata SSD for the OS along side a 7200rpm spindle HDD for Docs and games. which still allows me to use the ODD slot for a DVDrom!

this mSata SSD is very fast and im getting a 7.8 in WEI, not to mention seeing close to 500MB/s in SSD benchmarks. i would absolutely recommend this upgrade to any laptop that supports mSata! as in 9/10 times this will allow the best of both worlds, Speed (SSD) & Large amounts of storage (HDD) were normally you would normally only be able to choose one drive and have to pick between a small but fast SSD or large but slower HDD... :(

P.S. i tried IRST (Intel rapid storage technology) and wasn't too impressed but YMMV.

Pros: Small and fast, works very well, when it works (see cons). Overall I am very pleased with this little guy, although now I do wish I had gone for the 120GB version.

Cons: First Drive was faulty (but see other thoughts).

Other Thoughts: As the con states, the first drive was faulty, and caused two laptops to blue screen, lock up, etc. However, tech support was very nice and RMA'd it for me (and since it had been less than 30 days, they paid for shipping both ways). Five business days later, I have my replacement and I'm rockin.

Pros: Easy install. Installed on a Gigabyte Z77 m/b so I could check out Intel Rapid Storage Tech. Snap it in and boot it up. Used Gigabyte EZ App to enable RAID since I didn't want to reinstall Win 7. It worked as advertised. Boot up times are around 20 seconds. Not to mention it has a cool red LED that blinks as it is used. :) BTW IRST can only use up to 64g so I didn't see any use buying a larger one. Made in USA .....what is the world coming to?

Cons: Price I thought was a little high for only a 60 g SSD.

Other Thoughts: Would like to know if I should still defrag my HDD. Since this ssd is in RAID 0 with a HDD when using Intel Rapid Storage Tech. Briefly searched the Intel and Mushkin sites but didn't find any info.

Pros: Looks good, should work great, and good value.

Cons: Does not work when the mini pcie slot in my notebook.

Other Thoughts: Triple check that your notebook's mini pcie slot will support a msata disk drive in it. My Cleo1P15HM1/GAVP6 seems to not, so I don't have much use for the device.
