DiTBho:
yet real-world case: is mSATA SSD in Thinkpad X61 laptop possible?
Well, the bloody mSATA card fits the miniPCIe slot, but the card does not work.
(my deep ignorance)

Better know - why - ?  :o :o :o

Well, here it is a great article  :D

SiliconWizard:
mSATA is not directly PCIe as far as I got it.
I think the only type of SSD that is fully generic PCIe is the NVME type, but please correct me if I'm wrong! Have not been exposed to mSATA in ages.

Yup, as far as I understand, the miniPCIe socket "can" have a sATA lane.
If it's present, then mSATA is supported.

Yes, so it must be explicitely supported on a given socket, it's not generic PCIe.

(I am still ignorant about some details
'cause I am still using old technology)
