This isn't the same connection as SATA, it's micro SATA. The drive fits into a small port inside laptops that support it, leaving the regular SATA bay available.

As far as I know, we cannot upgrade the SSD and memory in UX31a because UX31a uses a propreitary slot.
I love my ux31a except for these non upgradeable options.

That's a pretty good price for a very good msata SSD. I just installed one of those in my Yoga.
Although for me B&H price of $189 is better. No tax and free shipping.

My understanding is that the Crucial M4 can read AND write as fast as 5.5Gb/s or so, so if you're putting an OS, apps and data on this drive, the 3Gb/s limit is going to affect top performance. Seems...
