I reckon that is not a good investment.
Read a lot on the web that, mostly are running Marvell chipset and Marvell does not support trim.
And a lot of PCIe x1 sata 3 controllers are junk, a good one PCIe x4 comes with hefty price.
Better keep the money for next upgrade and use the current native sata2 intel controller.

Unless you transferring GBs of data everyday. brows.gif
Max dy. Read speed still can go, but need sata3. laugh.gif

Its not that not good, there are pros and cons. See what are you doing with it.
If purposely setup for benchmarks only, then really not good.

Crucial M500, Plextor M5S, Seagate 600 series are pretty good for price/performance models.
Depends on your usage and capacity needed.

Just bought a Plextor mSATA SSD but it doesn't come with the small screws to secure the card after plug into the mSATA port. The seller said it normally comes with the laptop. Is it true?

Can I just assemble the mSATA SSD without securing it with screws?

Aren't the laptop msata installation just similar ram ? it should have some sort of clip to secure it for where it was inserted.

hey guys looking for a 120/28gb ssd. Im looking for stability and reliability. Is the speed on paper not much difference in real world usage? I'm looking at Samasung 840, Crucial m4 and Plextor M5s.
May I know which is the best choice?

Yup, there's not much difference you can feel in real world performance in normal usage.
Crucial M4 is older series, get Crucial M500 instead.
The other models u listed are all ok.
