256GB mSata SSD to put in Ultrabook.

Anyone know the best deal for an mSata SSD drive (256GB)?

I want to replace the 128GB that came with my Ultrabook.

Can be a bare drive or I'd also be happy to rip it out of an enclosure like this LiteOn one (http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/84445)

Thanks!

Cheapest 256GB I found so far is the Liteon from Gamedude for $159. http://www.gamedude.com.au/prod_show.php?art_no=ssdLIlzt_256

  I'd look at something like that, then you can sell off your old 128Gb with the case.

    Thanks. That was my thinking. Now to look around for the best deal in Victoria! Liteon isn't hugely popular!

I have been using the LiteOn ZT-256M3S mSata SSD for a few months now and it has been awesome!

Note the best price but this is where I ordered mine from http://www.scorptec.com.au/computer/46656-lzt-256m3s

  Thanks. Looks like that's the way to go.
  
  $171 delivered from Gamedude or $169 pickup from Scorptec across town. :-)

    Perhaps I am missing something here, but that drive and all of the others discussed here seem to be just normal SATA drives. But originally you were after a mSATA (i.e mini-SATA) drive, which is different.

      The Lite-On drive/s referred to is a mSATA board inside a 2.5" case.
