Mini PCI-E Slot (Mini PCIE)
The Mini PCI-E slot is used to install a
compatible Mini PCI-E device. Refer to
the table on right for pin definitions.
The mSATA feature leverages the speed
and reliability of the SATA interface to
provide a high performance, cost-effec-
tive storage solution for smaller devices
like notebooks and netbooks.
The specification maps SATA signals
onto an existing small form factor con-
nector, enabling more compact integra-
tion in a wide variety of applications for
both hard disk (HDD) and solid state
drives (SSDs). The mSATA connector
allows companies to increase the stor-
age offerings of their products without
compromising valuable space.
