Hello,
It happened ! I would like to byuy an SSD drive for performance only.
I have looked on SSD's avalaible in Poland and I noticed that these disks are popular in shops
My first question is about interface - which will be faster - ? Plugged against hdd or into minipcie? I have wwan slot free [minipcie]
Second question is about speed/performance of the standard hdd slot in t410
I need SSD for system and few apps only - my t410 is not a portable computer - I am using it as desktop. Performance is the most importance
regards

I used the Kingston SSDNow V+100 bought 18 months ago, never looked back
Read speed is *great*.

The T410 should be SATA II - it'll be faster that the pcie slot. I had an Intel X25-M generation 2 in my T410 and it worked nicely. I'd likely grab whichever of the following happened to be on sale this week:
1) Intel 520 series
2) Samsung 830 series
3) Crucial M4 series
Good luck, you'll enjoy the SSD.

I'm searching possible options now. I would like to know what you are using and what is best
I'm thinking about bying good esatax2 expresscard controller and making raid0 on two classical 7200 rpm harddisk else. What should be faster? I have backup solutions for raid0

From a performance perspective for most uses there's little to differnetiate one SSD from the next as they're all blazingly fast. I'd buy on price.

The Sandforce 2281 based drives are what I like. Here is my recommended list:
1. Corsair Force GT
2. Corsair Force 3
3. Intel 520
4. Patriot Wildfire
5. Patriot Pyro SE
