Hi all,
I'm wondering if I can add an mSata ssd as a bootable drive to my laptop (Pavilion DV6-6186nr), there is a half-size wifi card connected to a mini-pcie slot but not sure wether this slot is connected to that sata controller or not.
is there any one who can verify (yes/no) please or provide a method to verify such is hwinfo64, what sort of information should I look for please?
BTW, this is the best ssd I've found so far that can fit the half-size spot available in the laptop
Thanks,
Tri

No, it does not have PICe port foe mSATA, the port could be for a WWAN port.

Hi Banhien and thanks for replying,
If I may ask again please, is this for my model only or for all DV6 series ? because MyDigital claims that their mSata ssds are compatible with DV6 series.
Thanks again,

From your post: "there is a half-size wifi card connected to a mini-pcie slot ", WWAN card also need antennas therefore they can link.
