hye guys, this is my first SSD and i have no idea how to tweak it or to know is it okay or not   

is this okay?

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

if you're not greedy for performance, mainstream ssd's should work fine for you. (for instance, crucial m500/mx100, plextor m6s, samsung 840 evo) in fact any decent ssd's in the market will most probably do very well for you.

these mainstream drives have 3-year warranty.

hm.. you should tell us earlier what you're comparing with.

yeah basically what TristanX said.

have fun with it it's also good to take a look at the first posts for some best practices.

Intel 530/Plextor M5S/Crucial MX100 should work nicely...

there is no such things as compatibility based on brand. it's just asus appointed sandisk to produce oem ssd for them.

i have a g55 that i put a raid0 with a plextor m5m and a vertex 4. don't bother about thickness of ssd (7mm or 9.5mm) if you have a non-ultrabook laptop. both should fit.

between intel 530 and sandisk ultra ii, my choice will be intel 530. (it's personal preference)

oh. yeah half-sized msata ssd is rare :/ this is why i think it's important to check the internals before new purchase, so as to prevent getting this kind of upgrade inconvenience.

oh :/

yeah most manufacturers only tell you generic things, like your laptop can fit msata ssd. what they don't tell you is that you need a particular type for your laptop, while there are many form factors for msata ssds. (this has happened before. everyone in a forum who owned asus g46 bought full-sized msata ssd's for upgrades, but later found out that they actually needed the half-sized one. eventually they did all sorts of things, including taping the msata ssd to the laptop in order to secure and use it)

referring to the 3rd image in your post, the size of your ssd should be like the wifi card (intel) just above the msata slot.

i think you should also mention your laptop model.
