I have an X301 (not sure which type, it's not here) and I've
investigated this.  It does appear that the usual obnoxiousness is not
there.

I tried an mSATA <-> 1.8 SATA converter (which I picked up from eBay for
about £4), and an OCZ mSATA SSD.  The machine booted quite happily and
the Debian installer detected the drive.

I then popped the Toshiba drive back in, because I've not gotten around
to buying a sufficiently large mSATA SSD to make the upgrade worthwhile
yet.
