I am considering replacing my Intel 80gig 310 mSATA with one of the new Mushkin Atlas 240GB mSATA drives. Has anyone tried this? Will it work?

I am primarily a system admin/developer/IT consultant and run lots of virtual machines from clients on my laptop to troubleshoot hence the 1TB drive and 8GB (soon to be 16GB) of RAM. I dual boot into either Win7, ESXi, and occasionally BackTrack for pen testing. Basically I'm tired of constantly having to move/Junction folders from the 80gig C: drive to either the internal 240GB SSD or 1TB in the Drive Bay. I'm down to 6GB on C: now and would like to just bite the bullet and go to 240GB on C and possibly one of the 512GB SSDs in the internal bay. Of course I'm not quite ready to drop $600 on a 512GB SSD.

Anyone with experience with this drive yet?

If 256 msata is what you want why not get a Runcore 256 msata.
Its been tested to work on Thinkpads.

I can't seem to find anything in the 240-256GB range for RunCore mSATA. I'm sure this is just begging for the copy paste Google link, but I searched around and couldn't find it.

Any links or product numbers?

I saw one on EBay, a while back.
