Building a mini itx gaming system, would prefer to use mSata over Sata but not at a significant performance loss. The drive will be the only system drive, there are the two I'm trying to decide between:
Crucial M500 240GB SATA mSATA Internal Solid State Drive CT240M500SSD3
or
Kingston SSDNow V300 Series SV300S37A/240G 2.5" 240GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
The speeds look comparable:
Max Sequential Read
Up to 500MB/s
Max Sequential Write
Up to 250MB/s
4KB Random Read
Up to 72,000 IOPS
4KB Random Write
Up to 60,000 IOPS
MTBF
1,200,000 hours
vs
Max Sequential Read
Up to 450 MB/s
Max Sequential Write
Up to 450 MB/s
4KB Random Read
Up to 85,000 IOPS
4KB Random Write
Up to 43,000 IOPS
MTBF
1,000,000 hours
my tentative build as of now:

The mSata drive is $10 more, so price really isn't a factor. Is there some other consideration I'm missing here or are they going to preform similarly?
