SSD question(mSATA)

[Dario_92]

So all I need for my build now is an SSD, can I use this http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Storage/SSDs/mSATA+SSD/128GB+Plextor+M5M+mSATA+6GB%2Fs+%28SATA-III%29+Solid+State+Drive+?productId=54246 for a boot drive or will I need something like this http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Storage/SSDs/100GB+-+180GB+SSD/120GB+Samsung+840+Series+2.5%22+SATA+6GB%2Fs+%28SATA-III%29+Solid+State+Drive+?productId=53690


Thanks, Dario.

You can only use an mSata SSD if your motherboard has an mSata slot. A regular SSD like that Samsung fit on any Sata port.

Yeah my motherboard has an mSATA port but i was just asking if I can use it as a boot device

 

[Feronix]

I'd personally just grab a normal one tbh, just because you can take it out and place it in other (new) rigs more easily without needing a motherboard that has mSata.

True, I think I'm gonna get the 840 in the next few weeks Unless you would suggest something else

840 Pro or Crucial M4 imo.

From what I've heard, the non Pro Samsung SSDs aren't all that special. Though it does come in at a nice price, but that's up to you
