Hello everybody! I am updating my laptop`s hardware and I wanted to know if it would be better to have an msata 200gb-240gb SDD plus a 1tb HDD or whether to have the same msata plus a sata 500gb SDD. Performance and speed are my main objectives here, for I don´t really need the extra 500gb given by the HDD. Price also isn´t the main factor. The HDD is a 5400rpm one, the msata SDD is a Crucial m500, and last of all the sata SDD is a Crucial mx100.
What are your thoughts? Every help would be kindly appreciated.
P.S.: Do no recommend any other SSD brand, as I don´t have any other options where I live.

That's subjective. IO heavy operations will certainly be improved but anything compute heavy or gpu heavy that isn't relying on lots of disk IO will see little benefit from this. You will of course have improved boot times and loading times for large files.
