You don’t even have to give up your high-capacity hard drive in return. With the real-world performance improvements an mSATA SSD offers, you can spend less time waiting for your PC to complete tasks and more time getting things done. For this tutorial, we used a 240GB Intel 525 Series SSD ($299) and installed it in a ThinkPad T430 notebook. If possible, choose a drive that’s rated for SATA III speeds.

We recommend purchasing at least a 128GB size, which should cost between $100 and $150, depending on brand and speeds ( see our favorite SSDs here). Intel, Crucial, ADATA and Mushkin are among the popular SSD vendors who make mSATA drives, with prices ranging from $55 for a 32GB model to well over $200 for a 240GB capacity. Though you won’t find an mSATA SSD at your local Best Buy, you can purchase one at any number of hardware e-tailers, including NewEgg, Amazon, Tiger Direct, My Digital Discount and Mwave.

You can also check the service manual for your notebook or look at a list of mSATA-compatible notebooks such as the one maintained by My Digital Discount. If your notebook is available with a solid state cache, even if you don’t have it in your configuration, the system will have an empty PCIe slot, which you can use to connect an mSATA SSD. While not every laptop offers mSATA support, several popular models from 2011 do, including most Dell and Lenovo systems.
