mSATA solid state drives are some of the hottest SSDs on the market today, popping up in a variety of the latest mobile devices, netbooks, and notebook PCs. As time goes on, more and more people are catching wind of the SSD trend, which is no surprise to us since the performance of these drives are head and shoulders above the rest. There is really so much to love about these mSATAs - the difference is very noticeable when a small PC notebook using an mSATA SSD can boot-up and load applications faster than a top-of-the-line HDD desktop only five years ago.
At My Digital Discount, we have had a number of customers ask us if their computers are mSATA compatible. The following is a list is a compilation of some of the most popular mSATA compatible models being used today. This list is ongoing and routinely updated with new devices when we confirm compatibility.

Hi, I was wondering if my CLEVO P151EM / SAGER NP9130 would be compatible with a 480gb msata ssd? Here is a link to buy computers user manual with the specifications. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://monitor.espec.ws/files/p150em_935.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwipi_LTjMbgAhVRJTQIHYTkAN4QFjAAegQIBBAB&usg=AOvVaw3IURv9IeO__kq2vP3P_0-6 Thanks. |

I got a HP ZBook 17 G1. I want to upgrade all the storage bays with SSD. kindly advice the maximum ssd capacities the can be taken by 1. The primary 2.5" bay 1. The Secondary 2.5" bay 1. The mSATA bay 1. The m.2 bay
MyDigitalDiscount.com:
To our knowledge, there shouldn't be any restrictions on the capacities you're able to use in the bays you've listed above. Often with older laptops, their documentation simply lists the highest capacity form factors available at the time of their release but rarely are they limited to only those sizes. That said, we always suggest double checking with the manufacturer directly before making any purchase. |

I've got several of the Dell e6430, looking for full and half mini PCIe SSD card options. Thanks.
MyDigitalDiscount.com:
Based on what we could find, the slot available appears to be primarily for WWAN use. While a half-size mSATA may physically fit, wireless card slots are often PCI based where chances of the BIOS detecting the drives we offer are slim. That said, we always suggest contacting Dell directly for confirmation. |

Hi, I currently have an LG Xnote Z330 with a mSATA SSD XM14 120GB AXM14S3-120GM-B. Can I upgrade to mSATA SSD 1TB?
MyDigitalDiscount.com:
We see no reason why not. We rarely find capacity restrictions when it comes to upgrading ultrabook/laptop storage but, every now and then, physically fitting the drive in the slot can be an issue with some double-sided drives in thinner portables. |

hi, i just want to ask about the kind of ssd msata that fits my laptop (hp workstation 8570w) and weather (Samsung SSD PM851 mSATA 256GB SSD MZMTE256HMHP DP/N: 00Y6FC) fits mine or not. thanks a lot
MyDigitalDiscount.com:
Yes, the HP 8570w is mSATA compatible. In fact, we found a helpful blog post where the author upgrades his workstation with a 1TB Samsung drive: https://goo.gl/fr5br5 |

Hi, wondering if the msata mini (half length) can work with my laptop HP Pavilion DV6-6186nr (Product Number: A2Y03UA#ABA) The idea is to remove the wifi card and place this msata ssd in it (Super Boot 2 half-size), then use it as the operating system partition to boot from it. unfortunately, the available space is for half-size only which limits my options for selecting the right ssd (if compatible). so, is my laptop compatible with your msata SSDs please? regards
MyDigitalDiscount.com:
From our experience with similar models, mSATA compatibility is unlikely because WiFi slots are often PCI based. Yes, a half-size SSD may physically fit the slot but your chances of the BIOS detecting the drive is slim. That said, we always suggest contacting the manufacturer directly for confirmation. |

Hi, I want to know if can I install a msata 120gb ssd into my HP ENVY 15 j058ca laptop.
MyDigitalDiscount.com:
From what we could find, it appears so! Might we suggest considering MyDigitalSSD's SB2 mSATA series for your upgrade: https://goo.gl/QqbNXj |

Just installed a VisionTek 240 GB Msata card into a Dell Precision Mobile Workstation Laptop M4800 and bios see it but Windows does not, does not show up in Device Manager or disc management. It is in the slot 2.5" slot marked WWAN MSATA. During boot I watched the card with back off laptop and there was a light flashing at times off the card itself which I take as being in the motherboard slot correctly. Is it a bad card? I have re-installed the Windows 10 Pro to see if that helps, no it still is not seen so I cannot format the card. ANY one have a suggestion on what to do. Many thanks to any help you may have to offer. |

The interesting thing is that typically caching is applied via a program ran from the OS, and if that's the case, you should be able to disable that program and use the mSATA as the boot drive. The issue at that point would be whether or not the mSATA slot will recognize an SSD over 32GB. |

Yes, you should have no trouble using a 480GB mSATA SSD in your laptop. In fact, below is a link to MyDigitalSSD's 480GB Super Boot 2 for your consideration.
