SSD Compatibility Lists

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 have a hp elitebook 840 g1 base model. Can I use normal SATA SSD in the place of hard drive? If it is ok then please suggest me some SSD. Please help me.
MyDigitalDiscount.com:
Yes, any 2.5" SATA II/III SSD can be used to replace the HDD in that particular model. The "right one" comes down to finding the best price for the speed/capacity you need. Below is a how-to step-by-step video on upgrading your existing drive. YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/s8aj7lh |

I have an HP Folio 9470m and I see it on the list but was wondering which msata ssd would be compatible Thank you
MyDigitalDiscount.com:
Any 50mm mSATA, like the ones found in the link below, should work just fine. https://www.mydigitaldiscount.com/solid-state-drives-msata-ssd/ |

Hi! I'm trying to speed up a friend's Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 13 (Type 0217-3BG) by installing a Samsung SSD PM851 mSATA 256GB but it doesn't show up anywhere so I guess the SSD is not compatible with that laptop. Do you have any idea which SSD's that can be used in it?
MyDigitalDiscount.com:
Unfortunately, we couldn't find any concrete information on whether your specific model is mSATA compatible or not. The only SSD upgrade we can confirm is swapping out the 2.5" drive inside. We suggest contacting Lenovo directly for more information. |

Toshiba Satellite A665 PSAW3L-07N00S does have an addition PCI-E slot and was too tempting not to try.
MyDigitalDiscount.com:
Have you tried it? We couldn't find any cases of someone successfully using an mSATA SSD in that particular model. |

I am a user of Hp Pavilion Dv6 6c05et Entertainment Notepad. Can I install the SSD on my MSATA SSD laptop? Does My Product Support? Please help me.
MyDigitalDiscount.com:
From what we could find, dv6 models do not support the use of a secondary mSATA SSD in combination with your existing hard drive. If you're looking to upgrade performance, you may want to consider swapping your existing hard drive for a high-speed 2.5" SATA SSD. |

Unfortunately, the Latitude E6420 is not designed for an mSATA SSD. The slot provided is for a WWAN card only. |

HP Pavilion dv6t-2000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC from 2009 i7 gen 2 with SATA 2 I believe. A typical internal SATA SSD should work fine correct? Thinking the EVO Samsung should do fine and work. Can you confirm? My DV6T was custom ordered with then GT230 in it.
MyDigitalDiscount.com:
Yes, you should be able to swap your 2.5" SATA II SSD with any 2.5" SATA III (6Gbps) SSD without any issue. |

Hi, I have a Lenovo Essentials G570 from way back in 2011! Is it possible to add an mSATA SSD to it, please? Thank you for your time and for this useful list.
MyDigitalDiscount.com:
Unfortunately, the G570 doesn't appear to have a data-enabled PCIe slot for mSATA use. From what we could find, the Mini PCIe slot is for WLAN use only. |

Unfortunately, the only confirmed upgrade option we could find for that particular model is replacing the existing hard drive with a 2.5" SATA SSD. Alternatively, you could use an mSATA or SATA M.2 inside a compatible 2.5" SSD adapter to replace your HDD as well.
