In reply to Matt. I don't quite understand you mSATA comment as M.2 and mSATA cannot be interchanged at all. As for purchase...we haven't even got one in our hands yet for testing.

So for the uninformed buyer, who needs one of these 42mm beasts to run his laptop (which, unlike the product specs claimed, cannot use mSATA), where and when is it possible to acquire one of those 120gb 42mm M.2 chips I’ve been dreaming about for nearly a year now? I can’t find them for sale anywhere…

In reply to Kristian Vättö. Kristian my friend...you were in our conversations here! Agreed, however, we haven't seen similar with Intel IMHO.

That just looks like the M.2 version of Intel SSD 530. The controller is SF-2281 rev B and we’ve seen non-LSI branded controllers before too (e.g. Toshiba).
