Yup, just as long as the sizes are the same. I'm guessing the X230 is
50mm as the X220 is. Unlike wifi cards and other mini PCI cards, here's
no white list for mSATA drives that I know of.

Previously I've used...

Renice 120GB K3VLAR - Died after 2 days of use:

MyDigitalSSD 128GB Bullet Proof - used for 2 years without issue:

Currently using...

Mushkin Enhanced Atlas Series 480GB - Used for the last month, awesome:

The Musdhkin drive is a double board sandwiched together. It fit in my
X220 just fine. Your mileage may vary.
