Looking for SSD for my 4 year old X220

Even though my boss and coworkers say I should buy a new laptop, I prefer to keep my X220 and my mini dock 3.
Are these %100 compatible and recommended SSD's?
 Crucial M550 256GB mSATA Internal Solid State Drive CT256M550SSD3
www.amazon.com/Crucial-256GB-mSATA-Internal-CT256M​550SSD3/dp/B00IRRDJ4W
 Crucial MX200 250GB mSATA Internal Solid State Drive - CT250MX200SSD3
www.amazon.com/Crucial-MX200-250GB-mSATA-Internal/​dp/B00RQA6LFA
I read somewhere else that Crucial might be preferred instead of Samsung EVO's in mSata.
What are you guys using on your X220? I can't find any other brands/models than these 3 listed here.
• X220, Intel i5 2540M, 12.5", IPS, Bluetooth, Fingerprint, Camera, 6-Cell, Win 7, Intel 6205
• S405, AMD A6-4455M, 14", 4GB RAM, Win 8

Good choices, though - keep x220 and install msata SSD.
Both drives are based on the same controller, fast enough, at the same time 256 GB version of MX200 is one of the fast drive with such capacity and even faster then SSDs with bigger size due to its architecture. Also it's one of leader of massmarket 256 GB storage.
Note, you'll not get full performance from both drives because of x220 supports SATA II interface only in the msata slot (drives above has SATA III interface, backward compatible with SATA II).
Due to my conservatism, I prefer Intel, so you see their drives in my signature. Nevertheless, for your choice are Micron, Plextor, MyDigitalSSD, Corsair... Not OCZ. But Crucial is a very good choice.
x220 | i5-2520m | Intel ssd 320 series | Gobi 2000 3G GPS | WiFi
x220 | i5-2520m | hdd 320 | Intel msata ssd 310 series | 3G GPS | WiFi
Do it well, worse becomes itself

  • I'm trying to set up a iTunes allowance account for my 11 year old daughter, I set up the account but put in the wrong email address, now it's trying to send the verification email to an old addy I no longer have access to. Help.

    I'm trying to set up a iTunes allowance account for my 11 year old daughter, I set up the account but put in the wrong email address, now it's trying to send the verification email to an old addy I no longer have access to. Help.
    I've tried looking at my own itunes account but I cannot seem to find the allowance account, it says I currently have zero allowance accounts.
    All I want to do is change the assigned email address.

    Who is the email provider? Not all accounts can be set up as POP3

  • TS3274 Videos won't play.  Not YouTube or any other videos.  I also have no sound.  Are these common failures for a three year old gen 2  iPad?

    Videos won't play.  Not YouTube or any other videos (just started today).  I also have no sound, keypad clicks, shutoff click, etc.  Are these common failures for a three year old Gen 2 iPad?

    For the issue with the videos that will no longer work, try closing all apps and then reboot the iPad.
    Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    For the issue with sounds, you have system sounds muted.
    Check the side switch above the volume rocker on the side of the iPad. Flip it the other way and see if you get sound from the apps, keyboard clicks, etc.
    If not, double tap the home button to bring up the task bar at the bottom. In the task bar swipe all the way to the right. Look on the far left side and see if there is a speaker icon. If there is, tap it and see if the sounds on apps come back. Then tap the home button.
    You can change how the side switch works to either lock screen rotation or to mute system sounds. You can go to Settings>General>Set Side switch to Lock Rotation or mute. If you choose mute, the switch will turn off apps sounds. Otherwise you use the task bar as described above to mute those sounds.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • Trying to make my old 3G iphone an iPod for my 4 year old grandson. I have found lots of ways to do so online. PROBLEM: when I charged it and turned it on it only flashes many different languages. Will only allow me to call emergency numb

    Trying to make my old 3G iphone an iPod for my 4 year old. I have found lots of ways to do so online. PROBLEM: It's been off for 2 years. When I charged it and turned it on it only flashes many different languages. Will only allow me to call emergency number. Any ideas how I can log on to it?

    Im pretty sure what you are looking at is Set up Assistant where it shows different languages on the slider. If I am right then just slide to unlock and follow the prompts to choose your language, country etc.

  • What are some good free game apps for 12-13 year olds

    What are some good free games for 12-13 year olds?

    I don't know of any that do exactly that, but I use Pinger. You can even make free wifi calls trough them. Call quality is as good, if not better, than Skype too.

  • I set up an apple id for my 12 year old, a verfication email was sent, but google has locked her out because of age.  How do I get the verfication email?

    I set up an apple id for my 12 year old, a verfication email was sent, but google has locked her out because of age.  How do I get the verfication email?
    Should each person in my house have their own apple id and password?
    Can each of the different ID's be linked back to my apple account so that when they purchase apps and music it will be charged to my credit card?

    Ask Google... they locked you out of the email account.

  • I want to set up an apple id for my 6 year old but i aint got a credit card

    i want to set up family sharing and create an apple id for my 6 year old daughter,it says i need a credit card to do it, but i aint got one,only a debit card which ive used for years on my apple id.what can i do? really think that the family sharing route is best but what can i do if i havent got a credit card.please help
    Thank you

    Try getting a credit card from the same people who issued the debit card. If I read the home sharing paper properly after your set it up with the credit card you can change the payment method back to debit.

  • Apple ID for my 9 year old - How can I set up an ID for my 9 years old. We have bought him an ITouch for his birthday, he also has a $30 iTunes card. To load up the iTunes card he needs an ID. When I try to set him up it says he is below the min age.

    How can I set up anApple ID for my 9 years old. Every time I try it tells me he is bolew the min age. If this is the case how can he download free games and how can he redeem his birthday $30 iTunes card? I dont want him to use my ID as it has my credit card details.
    I'm very fustrated with this as it seems the Apple kit is for 13 years and older only.
    Cheers
    Brad

    That's great your 9-yr-old is responsible enough to handle an iTouch!
    There's no way around the age limit. I suggest a family account that you, an adult, control.

  • How can i setup an apple ID for an 80 year old family member in another country from my country

    Hi ,
    I am trying to set up an old 3gs for my 80 year old father and i need an apple id for him. I get an error on the apple website when i try to set an apple id up for him, no explanation just "error: this page cant be displayed.Contact support for additional information. The Incident ID: N/A.".
    I'm assuming its some kind of security error because I'm trying to do this from the UK and his address is in Spain. I hope to deliver via another family member who is going out to Spain. I would like it to be completely set-up for him.
    Any Advice would be appreciated.

    But when ever I type in my Visa Card number it won't work why is that ? Does a german Credit card not work in the Dutch apple Store?
    Correct
    Also when I type in my adress it does not work either. Is it not possible to have a German adress and a dutch apple ID ?
    Correct again. You must have a valid credit card and address for the country whose App Store you are trying to use.

  • I have been given a second hand ipod from a friend for my 3 year old but I am unable to sync it to my itunes account. Can anyone help?

    I have been given an old ipod classic from a friend at work for my 3 year old to have to listen to her Disney songs on. I have tried but I can't get it to sync to my iTunes at all. The computer recognises that there is a device there but it won't link up. I have changed cables as I wasn't using an apple one but I managed to find one. I have tried factory resets and still not further forward. Can anyone help me?

    Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities
    From what I understand is that the device will show up in iTunes but it will not allow you to synchronize media over to the device even after you reset the device. When you say you reset the device, do you mean you restored the device in iTunes? What error message you are getting when attempting to synchronize media?

  • I have a mac g 5 and i uploaded Microsoft Office 2008 for my 90 year old mother. Now when she tries to open earlier word docs, they won't open at all  :-(  what happened?

    HELP!!! i have a mac g 5 and i uploaded Microsoft Office 2008 for my 90 year old mother. Now when she tries to open earlier word docs, they won't open at all  :-(  what happened?  I SEE THE WORD IN THE NAVIGATION BAR BELOW, but when she tries to open a word doc, the navigation bar opens and closes around the Word symbol and nothing happens :-(  i'm going crazy :-( PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP AND LET ME KNOW WHAT TO DO?

    If you have not already done so, repair permissions and restart your computer.  Or boot up from your install DVD and run "Repair Disk" from the Utility menu.  When done, restart back to your desktop, repair permissions and restart your computer. Suggest that you post in the Microsoft Office for Mac Forums if the above does not work. 
     

  • I just updated my iPad2 to ios7 and everything returned except my movies. Why??? I was trying to ADD a movie for my 5 year old and it said I needed a later iOS. Now he has ZERO movies!!!! Just great!!

    For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices. 
    That all works.
    It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now.  They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
    I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
    Thanks for listening,
    Melissa
