No, you would need an adapter like this: http://www.amazon.com/Syba-Port-mSATA-Components-SD-PEX40079/dp/B00KKO6N98
Though if you were getting an adapter, an M.2 would be a much better choice: http://www.amazon.com/Bplus-M2P4A-PCIe-NGFF-Adapter/dp/B00LAQS37U
The specifics explained, from a similar post:
"mSATA drives run over SATA, not PCIe. While the connector is physically identical to mPCIe, it's not transferring data over PCIe. mSATA SSDs should perform identically to SATA versions, unless corners have been cut to shrink it.
However, the new M.2 format does use multiple PCIe3.0 lanes to transfer data.
Generally, a single lane of PCIe3.0 is quite hard to bottleneck, as there's up to 1GB/s each way per lane."
