simple situation:

a MB with a mini pci-e slot
an msata mini pci-e ssd

I plug the ssd on the MB, I can't "see" it
I can't see anything (extra) on the post screen
I don't see anything new in BIOS (like you would see a new sata in the respective sata slot)
I can't see it with a windows 7 instalation DVD
I can't see it with a live linux distro

I bought the ssd off ebay and I don't want to return it/ask the money back before making sure it's bad (which, to me, seems highly unlikely)

thanks in advance!
 
I can't seem to find anything about this board taking a mSATA. I would get back with them and double check i checked out the manual and didn't see anything. I personally haven't use a board that will take a mSATA so not sure. I would assume it would be like any other mPCIe card. If its there its there if its not its not. No need to change anything in BIOS.
