I bought the 90GB MSATA 525 SSD this on Ebay for only $8 to use it with this cool enclosure from Orico at Amazon. It is working perfectly fine and has not been used a lot, but it is weird how there is not so much information about the 90GB model. Although I also have a 2230 enclosure with a 256GB KIOXIA BG6 2230 NVME (from a laptop upgrade), this 90GB 525 MSATA SSD and enclosure is also good to use for projects and is much faster than a USB disk.

Wanna buy my first ssd and I’ m going crazy with all those bench.

Which one would be better between an old samsung 830 64gb and an intel 525 30gb for my T420 with Ubuntu? – I already have a 500gb hdd in ultrabay for storage –

According to various sites benchmarks, the first one seems to have better performance in heavy/light workload 2011 write test, the second one is way better in desktop iometer 4k random write…

That is all nice but Mushkin is shipping a 480 GB mSATA that will outperform any of the Intel drives.

In reply to pcuser98. It is just a generic adapter with the Intel name on it and is not available for purchase that I am aware of.
