If the idea of onboard mSATA connectivity was of interest to you, perhaps you'd be interested in taking a look at one of Gigabyte's several mSATA flavoured Z68 mainboards, in the flesh.
The GA-Z68XP-UD3-iSSD proudly displays its mSATA credentials and is also bundled with a 20GB Intel 311 Series Larson Creek SSD, allowing users to put Intel's Smart Response Technology (SRT) to work, from the get-go.
Whether you're convinced by the mSATA variant of the 311 Series SSD - or waiting for alternatives - the GA-Z68XP-UD3-iSSD is just one of several Gigabyte Z68 powered mainboards being endowed with onboard mSATA connectivity. Expect to see this, and more of the line-up, at Computex.
