Tech Inferno Fan Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 A mSATA drive will not work in a wifi pci-e slot. Reason being mSATA has SATA as pins 23, 25, 31, 33 whereas wifi has those as pci-e. The ODD will have a SATA interface. If you happen to have e-sata then it may be feasible to wire it internally and attach the mSATA SSD in empty space.The only mPCIe factor SSD using pci-e lines, so has an onboard SATA controller, that I know of is the SuperTalent Corestore MV. It could only be used a data drive since your bios very likely doesn't support booting from a pci-e device. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
