The Crucial m4 mSATA SSD delivers all of the award-winning performance and reliability of the Crucial m4 SSD – in a drive that’s an eighth of the size. It enables blazing fast system boot up and program launch on mSATA equipped desktop or laptop computers.
Award-winning performance. Tiny form factor.Measuring in at about one-third the size of a standard business card (3cm x 5cm), the Crucial m4 mSATA is designed primarily for ultrathin laptop users who want to dramatically increase their system's performance. Featuring the same advanced controller technology, Micron custom firmware and high-speed synchronous MLC NAND that have made the Crucial m4 SSD a mainstay on the market, the Crucial m4 mSATA SSD is engineered to deliver the same blazing-fast performance as the award-winning 2.5-inch SSD – in a smaller mSATA form factor.
Ultrathin form factor means flexibility.Because of its tiny mSATA form factor, the Crucial m4 mSATA SSD can do things that hard drives and other SSDs often can't. With the Crucial m4 mSATA SSD, save valuable system space by mounting it directly to the mSATA socket on your motherboard – and free up a hard drive bay in the process. Or just keep your existing hard drive and use the Crucial m4 mSATA SSD as a cache to accelerate the system's performance. Validated for Intel Smart Response Technology and NVELO Dataplex caching software, it's designed to work as a cache or as a standalone SSD for ultrathin laptops. No matter how you use the Crucial m4 mSATA SSD, experience high-performance storage in a tiny, low-power package.
Consistently fast speeds. No exceptions and no fine print.There's a reason that Crucial SSDs have garnered numerous international awards – they do what they're supposed to do. No matter what kind of files you're working with on a Crucial SSD, you'll experience high speeds with no drop in performance. Unlike other SSDs on the market, Crucial SSDs treat all files the same, regardless of whether they're compressed or uncompressed. This is important because the files most people use everyday – videos, mp3s, advanced graphics files and zip files – are compressed files and thus unable to be compressed any further. While many SSDs on the market achieve faster speeds by using file compression, many of the most common file types can't be compressed, resulting in SSDs that often deliver drastically slower speeds than originally advertised. With the advanced technology of a Crucial SSD, however, the advertised speeds are tied to real world use.
Crucial - quality you can depend on.Crucial is a trusted name when it comes to SSDs, and that's no coincidence. As a brand of Micron, one of the world's leading manufacturers of SSDs, Crucial engineers work tirelessly to design, refine, and support a powerful line of SSDs.

Pros: Very fast drive, easy to install, fit right into my Asus EP121 to replace the 32 GB SSD it came with.
Cons: Required some finesse to get the EP121 stable, had to find a modded BIOS version 704 and flash, but has been stable ever since (1 week)
Overall Review: Crucial advertises this drive as Guaranteed Compatible with the ASUS EP121 tablet PC. It fits nicely and is easy to replace. Easily load windows 7 via the ASUS recovery disks, do not need to preformat the drive or anything - just pop it in and start loading software. However, Windows will BSOD anytime I wake from sleep or hibernate. Did some searching through the Tablet PC Review forums, some opinions that this is related to some kind of timing issue related to the speed of the drive being much faster than the original SanDisk 32GB SSD that it came with. There is a Modded BIOS available from CF77, be sure to flash this BIOS before installing this SSD! Will work perfectly only with that BIOS - None of the ASUS BIOS versions will work! Sweet having 256GB on what is my favorite Windows Tablet ever!
