I got the Liteon M3M 256GB I get around 450/380 mb/s (using CrystalMark). Not as advertised but can't complaint about everything in life .. I will focus my complaints on the US tax system and high property taxes

Glossy definitely looks much nicer hardware wise but matte is so much better from a practical stand point. I use a glossy laptop screen at work and I see the ceiling light on my screen all the time and it gets quite annoying. Also finger prints gets on it pretty easily on a glossy screen.

I would take advantage of the msata. If anything only use it for your OS and if you have games and other large applications install it on your 1TB. I was able to get a 64gb ssd on a gaming desktop I built, and install the OS will the necessary applications (office, internet security, etc) and a pagefile that totaled to 50gb. I install Crysis 3 and Skyrim on the large non ssd drive. Works pretty well with that setup

I purchased a 256gb liteon msata for $170 through eBay. Brand new and I had a $50 coupon that brought the price down to $120. Been using it for a month now works great. What a speed difference!!!
