WOW!!! I must admit this is a GREAT deal!
With the prices of SSD going down, I think I'll wait a bit. But I'm pretty sure that soon enough I'll be buying at least one 32GB or even 64GB to use as my primary HD for the Operating System. 
Thanks for the info...  |

So...what are you waiting for. If I were you, I'd do it immediately. Yeah, I know how it is, I also feel lazy sometimes to re-install everything. But hey, you can always make an image of your C: Drive and then restore it on your new SSD.
Or...you can always give your SSD to me...  JK

Yeah, I guess so...
I was fooled to think you can plug it also into a PCI-E slot in your desktop motherboard  , but I guess I was wrong...

perhaps a mini PCI-E to regular PCI-E dongle or converter card?
something like that must exist. |

This:
http://www.msicomputer.com/NB/product_spec.asp?model=MS-1651-ID2
I should probably learn more about it.
I just know it has the three mini slots, plus the one for the video card which I assume is also PCI-E. |
