KingSpec 16GB Mini PCI-e SATA SSD - Free Shipping
Quite a few have mSATA for use as a cache drive with Intel's Smart Response Technology.Cheers, I guess I was intruiged by it. As I watched a review of the new Asus Rog boards and they had a connector for one of those drives.
The Mini PCI-E isn't for SSD's, it's for wireless cards etc.Cheers, I guess I was intruiged by it. As I watched a review of the new Asus Rog boards and they had a connector for one of those drives.
You have both so you can do a Wi-Fi card and an SSD to use as an OS drive or a cache drive.

The mSATA on the other side is for SSD's, you can actually run one as your boot drive
I've looked into it as I fancy the Gene V, it's a SATA II card, so you'd need something like this OCZ 60GB Nocti mSATA SSD - Solid State Drive - NOC-MSATA-60G - Scan.co.uk
Plenty of mSATA SSD's about, I'd consider one as an SRT cache drive, or even as a boot drive, just a shame it's not SATA III.
Could be useful in small systems with limited space, other boards have the same mSATA port but mounted on the board itself, obv there isn't room on an mATX board to have it mounted there.Maybe just me but I don't see the point in using the one you linked to as an os drive, when you could get an m4 which has slightly more storage, is faster, likely more reliable and cheaper.

If it was SATA III then it'd be a lot more useful though.
If you use it as a write-back cache then as it's tracked on the LBA level then you aren't limited to the access times and slow write speeds of small amounts of data at that time.i dont understand, its read and write speeds arent fast enough to warrant making it a cache drive, not like a proper ssd, or am i missing something
