Don't need any grub or similar just manual choice, and it is what I wanted!!!

Hi,
Should be another way around I think. You can make mSATA SSD as disk 0 and normal SSD as disk 1. Install the second OS to mSATA SSD your machine would boot from the second OS first. I would install a larger (capacity) to the mSASA slot and use it as primary disk.
The following article tells you how to make mSASA SSD as boot disk
