[Thanks everyone for the comments. I'm going to go through the thread from the end so I don't respond to posts already responded to. =aw]
It's a good point about booting infrequently though I seem to boot more often than I'd like (particularly when an external drive won't be stopped, even in Win 7). However the big thing I thought of when the mSATA was suggested, was more the loading of the 8GB hibernation file. And while Paul's right about the Ultrabay, in the case of the X220 the mSATA is going in an unused WWAN slot as I understand it. (With an Ultrabay you'd be losing an optical drive or something, but in this case I just have the hassles of setting up the first time and lose nothing except the ability to add an internal WWAN antenna?).
