Sandisk 256GB X110 mSATA

Sandisk released a number of SSDs in late 2013 and throughout 2014, ranging from the more run-of-the-mill SSD Plus models, through to the Extreme Pro range. Among them were the mSATA versions, which never quite reached the Extreme Pro level but still offered a decent upgrade for notebook users.

Plextor 256GB M6M mSATA

It feels like an age since we’ve had a Plextor drive in for testing. Last year, the company released a slew of its M6 model drives, covering standard SSD and mSATA. The 256GB M6M in particular is one of the more recent of the M6 drives, although it too is over a year old now.

Samsung 120GB 850 EVO mSATA

The 850 EVO range of SSDs from Samsung has proved to be very popular among enthusiasts and system builders since they were launched late last year. They're the first generation of drives to use the coveted 32-layer 3D V-NAND technology, and when paired with Samsung’s own TurboWrite technology, the benchmark results are well beyond the average.

Crucial MX200 250GB mSATA

The Crucial MX200 range of SSDs come in the standard 2.5" SSD form, as well as M.2 and this, the mSATA version. Aside from the 2.5" model, which we’re led to believe uses a different controller, there’s not a lot of difference between the manufacturing processes and benchmark specifications.

Kingston SSDNow 120GB mSATA

Kingston has quite a range of SSDs, mSATAs and M.2 drives in its impressive catalogue. Although the mSATA standard may not be quite as popular as it once was, it’s still a healthy business line for the company, falling under the SSD System Builder category.
