I'm trying to decide which msata I want to get to replace the current one in my laptop, and I think I have it narrowed down to these two. Just looking to see what some of you suggest. Also i have a 1TB HDD that at some point I'm going to change out for the m500 960GB but likely not right now. So the specs of these 2 look like this:

Mushkin Atlas
240GB
Sequential Read 560MB/s
Sequential Write 530MB/s
Random Read 80,000 or 92,000 IOPS (not exactly sure which)
Random Write 80,000 IOPS
Price $210

Crucial m500
480GB
Sequential Read 500MB/s
Sequential Write 400MB/s
Random Read 80,000 IOPS
Random Write 80,000 IOPS
Price $382

Im leaning towards the Mushkin at this point its cheaper with better specs and like i said i plan on changing out my HDD for the crucial M500 960 at some point in the future.
