Is this an mSATA or uSATA drive? I can't tell?

I bought this SSD for my laptop, and turns out the SATA connection on it is smaller than the standard SATA so I tried buying a mSATA to SATA adapter which also turns it into 2.5" and the SSD wuld not even fit into the 2.5" SATA adapter, I even took it out of the Intel casing and the chip itself wouldn't fit either.

Here is the link to the SSD, is it maybe a uSATA then and maybe I need to buy a uSATA to SATA instead?

On the listing it just says SATA on Newegg but it is like smaller than SATA since it doesn't fit in my laptop SATA port.


Thanks!

According to the specs on that Newegg page, it is a SATA III SSD. The problem may be that it is 1.8" and most SSDs are 2.5". I don't know if they make any adapters for that. Prolly easiest to return it and exchange it for a 2.5" drive.

I don't know. I would just return it for exchange to the one that fits, 2.5", especially since it's a laptop.
