MSATA SSD
prices on 8 modelsmini-SATA (mSATA)
— miniature form factor of internal drives, the ideological predecessor of M.2. It was originally developed for netbooks and ultra-compact laptops, but nowadays you can also find desktop PCs with mSATA connectors on motherboards. However, due to the emergence and development of more advanced options, this form factor is gradually falling into disuse. One of its drawbacks is the SATA connection, which is slower than PCIe and does not allow you to fully realize the capabilities of high-speed SSD memory.
