Hi, Sony SVP11213CX VAIO computer is using SSD that can't be upgraded. -Vincent

I purchased a Crucial M500 240GB mSATA SSD and 2x4GB of Crucial DDR3-1600 CL11 1.35V RAM. They all work great. You are limited in performance RAM due to the 1.35V and SO-DIMM restrictions of the motherboard. There are only two DIMM slots, so the only way to upgrade later is to replace them with two new modules.

A regular 2.5 sata from an old laptop can work. But the ssd gives fast boot times

This model does not come with msata ssd, but stay out of the inside of the machine in advance msata position. When I received the machine, I also bought 128g of msata loaded, it's running well.

Any SSD's today replace/upgrade all of the SATA 2.5" hdd = 5200 to 7200rpm down to stone ages 2002 or even earlier.

Yes, the mSATA SSD is SATA III. Regarding the brand, it could be A-DATA or other 1st tier brand.In MSI website they doesn't release such information.

The MSI GS70 has 2 mSATA SSD slots and a standard 2.5 inch drive slot. You can upgrade the mSATA SSDs to larger capacity ones and also set them up in RAID for increased performance. You can also install a standard size SSD in the 2.5 inch bay as well.

I have no idea, I have the 500 GB HDD version, not the lower storage capacity SSD version.

This is an msata ssd, which is a lot smaller than a standard sata drive. I do believe that the crucial m4 is available in a 7mm form factor as well, though.

This ssd is m-sata interface based and can be ONLY installed on m-sata socket. It's not a traditional 2'5 inches hard drive. You should double check to ensure your computer has a msata socket.

If you send a request to support at MSI they can forward a pic of this laptop with the bottom removed. They highlight the mounting areas where the new drives install. It uses msata drives for the space savings. They are about 1/3d the size of a cased SSD.

Shouldn't be an issue. Sata III is backwards compatible. If you're able to fit your data, this SSD will make your older notebook fly. A most-impressive upgrade!

I installed a Samsung 840 1TB SATA and an Atlas 480GB MSATA in mine, myself, giving me 1.5TB of 6GB/sec SSD speed. Yes the laptop is still covered under the warranty, just not the drive(s). FYI its LIGHTNING fast, and VERY easy to install the drives, just remove the bottom (6 torx screws) and 4 screws for the SATA and 1 screw for the MSATA

This particular Plextor is a mSata connector. The picture on this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MSATA#mSATA shows difference between a standard SATA connector and a mSATA connector. Not sure if your dimensions are inches or cm? I think you should be looking for a standard SSD in a standard package. Try this one: http://www.amazon.com/Plextor-Solid-State-Drive-PX-128M5P/dp/B0092D6CSK/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1382978851&sr=1-4&keywords=plextor+ssd I checked the Toshiba and I don't see a mSATA connector in the specs anywhere. Most likely you want a 2.5" form factor drive where I'm assuming the 2.8 number is the middle is the width which is nominally a 2.5" drive.

Looking up the specs for this workstation on line, it gives the hard drive spec as:Hard Disk Drives*Up to 60GB/ 7,200 RPM or 80GB/ 5,400 RPM, EIDE/ATA-1. There is no mention of SATA, only EIDE and ATA.The spec sheet is dated 2005. This is an old computer. I have a feeling that this is not workable, but I can't prove it.

I used an mSATA Bullet Proof 4 Solid State Drive 128gb purchased also on Amazon. I run my OS and programs from it while using the conventional drive for storage. Both operate concurrently.
