Best mSATA SSD

While voiding my laptop warranty recently I discovered an mSATA slot. Which mSATA SSD is best or does it not really make a difference?

 

I'm looking for ~120GB and I've found these two which seem good.

Mushkin Enhanced Atlas Series MKNSSDAT120GB-DX mSATA 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive

Plextor M5M PX-128M5M mSATA 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive

 

I'm moderately knowledgeable but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.

Not much of a difference between the two. Get whichever is cheaper.

I agree with the rest, go with the Lite On Plextor M5M 128GB mSATA Solid State Drive (PX-128M5M) and it's cheaper on Amazon since there is no shipping.
