Question 1

what cable do I use?

Accepted Answer

mSata SSD is typically used in a mSata slot directly on newer laptop and desktop motherboards. Not all motherboards support mSata so be carful and make sure yours does before buying one. There are adapters that can be used to make a mSata SSD work in a standard 2.5" or 3.5" spot. But it might make more sense to just buy a SSD in those form factors if that's what you alreqdy have.

Question 2

Is this compatible with the Lenovo x220 ?

Accepted Answer

Don't know. I used it in an ASUS g46vw & the BIOS will not let me boot to the SSD. It works OK as an additional disk but I can't yet boot to it. May work OK in your situation.

Question 3

compatible with Lenovo x301?

Accepted Answer

Short answer is no. The 525 is mSATA and you need mini PCIe.

Physically mSATA and mini PCIe are similar but electrically they are different... different controllers.

Super Talent is where you need to look.

Cannot provide links so for further info, Google "ThinkPad X301
Hardware Maintenance Manual" and refer to pages 68 and 78.

Good luck.

Question 4
