Thanks for the video. I have tunnel Vision.. I have a huge potential to grow at such a rate that I get tunnel vision.. I also feel too comfortable rather than looking at growing. I will be looking at the three month growth. Thanks mate from Australia
Hi! Nice video, but... You know where I can get a mSATA to IDE 2,5" (with case) adapter? I have an old laptop that I want to update and I bought an adapter, but it seems it doesn't works... :'(
I watch your every video Eli and this was the best episode you've done in some time. It was the right mix of a new toy (well not so new) Some good info for other tutors on youtube and an excellent life lesson. This episode had a real feeling of you giving to your viewers. It was a real life lesson that you definitely will not get in school. This was definitely 'real world' advice and nothing to do with learning Active Directory... good job. Oh... and thanks for answering my question... PipPip...Jimdandy
I've got a 128GB half-size mSATA in my laptop and I'm loving it. It did have a premium price tag of 100€ +30€ import fee in december 2014, but it let me keep my terabyte HDD. Great little device.
Nice intro video Eli, I am CompTIA Certified, however prior to that I've know about these MSATA drives only for about 2 years and definitely are great boot devices that don't compromise your standard 2.5" drive for data / backups, etc. I am currently using a Samsung 256GB MSATA as my Windows boot drive in my Alienware 17 with (2) 750GB Scorpio drives for data redundancy :)
Vacation is a must - I agree with being able to see the world from a diffrent view. I need one of these soon. Eli your show is one of the best. I try to catch every episode as much as I can.
Vacations: Absolutely true. I ended up having burnout at my last job. Realized that in my nine years there, I spent the last three or four years without taking a real vacation but once. l got back into town on my birthday. Found out my Dad was in the hospital. Spent the night with him there. He died the next morning. I asked for time off to take care of my Dad's estate some months later. Actually, I asked to take one week off work, three months from the date I asked, and I was told, "No.". That put me under even more stress and I couldn't figure out what to do... Well, I knew what to do -- quit that damned job -- but I was advised by others it would be a bad idea. In my youth, I would have gone to my desk, typed up my resignation, printed it out, taken it to the branch manager's office, and went home. Or put the resignation and the leave of absence request on the Branch Manager's desk and told him to pick one, either way I wouldn't be there at the end of January. I realize now I should have simply taken a leave of absence as soon as my Dad died, not quit, not asked for leave, not asked for permission at all, just left and they would see me when they saw me. Turned out I ended up getting sick from all the stress of being there. Actually, I realized in hindsight, while dealing with my illness, that I had been sick all along, for years, but just kept my nose to the grindstone, focused on job at hand, with blinders on, and kept going to work every day -- if I was able to put one foot in front of the other, that meant I was fine. I ignored the headaches, the back pain, the ocassional dizziness, all of it. There was a sort of ordinary, everyday level of feeling like $#!+ that just became my sense of _'normal'_ -- because I was stupid. I had convinced myself that I needed that job. The first hint that something was wrong was maybe five years earlier. I took vacation time, about two weeks, so I could drive to my Family Reunion ~1,900 miles away. It took me five days off work, at home resting , before I finally unwound, and felt rested enough to begin the trip.do. Something I had budgeted one day of rest to do. I got sick when I just fell over one day. I took two weeks off. The doctors couldn't find a problem, beyond high blood pressure . I went back to work. Felt weak, nearly fell over again after three days. Took another two weeks off. Felt 'fine'. Went back to work. Lasted three months. Got sick again. Took another month off. Thought I was fine. Went back to work. Managed to make it six weeks. Got sick again. Decided not to go back until I was better. Six weeks went by before I realized in a moment of clarity long in coming: The problem was not that I kept going back to work 'too soon', before I was 'ready'. The problem was that I went back to that place... at all. So I never went back. I immediately felt better the moment I made that decision. It was a real relief to remove that burden. I was finally able to take a full, deep breath -- something I had not done for years. Vacations are necessary to gain a sense of renewal and view your life from a different perspective.
Hi Eli Your videos are fantastic.. never get bored while listening to you.. Awesome..!! Can you please post some vids on Storage protocols.. i would like to learn it from you.
my newest laptop has a free msata slot that ill be upgrading later. pretty neat when youre on a budget, as these are megacheap online. and of course getting cheaper by the day.
ur so l8 eli, been on msata for 1.5 years, but i do agree, the lack of proliferation upsets me, its the coolest form factor and almost noone except lenovo takes it seriously, and now they are acting like m.2 is replacing it, m.2 and ngff is so complicated
Eli...already there are M.2 drives in mainstream laptops and NIC like devices. The second generation of this that runs on the pcie bus like the drives in macbooks. mSata is alresdy 2 yesr old technology
Another pritty cool usage is on laptops. You can have for example a 128GB mSATA SSD drive for the OS and the apps and a 1TB HD for the data. Ussing a standard SSD you could only have one unit, unless you use a 2.5" DVD Caddy obiusly but most of the laptops from today don't come with these drives.
Besides the fact they have adapters to normal SATA, you can literally shove it into anything you want, for a price. In this case, you can buy an adapter for around 10~30 dollars and probably a little more. I've even seen a usb sound card... Technology has an adapter for almost anything. I made the bad choice or buying one of these things without looking into it, but I'm planning on buying an adapter for it (2.5 inch drive) so I can store it behind my motherboard in my pc and use my SATA 6 gbps.
Can you please post a link of the nuke (the one where you installed m sata SSD). I am planning to buy an i7 with a 1/2GB graphics card with any qty of m-Sata SSD.
can I install windows onto this? wanting to update my Thinkpad x220 and really confused by these. do I even need my 2.5 drive anymore if I install the mSata SSD into my Thinkpad?
well shit, Eli you sold me. Do you need a programmer? what you said about vacations makes me think youre the perfect boss. Please expand your business to app development or something like that so I can work for you
thankyou for the vids....I just want to upgrade my 80gb liteon(DMT-80M6M-11) msata into 512gb Plextor...how will I know if I can do that or is that compatible...thankyou again...cheers
U should've started by comparing the mSATA SSD cards to the old WiFi cards in older laptops. They're the same size and shape and easily confused with one another. NOTE: People don't try and put an mSATA into those older laptop WiFi cards slots, it will not work (BIOS not supported) and could end up messing up the mSATA card for good... Laptop much have mSATA specific slot only...
Eli the Computer Guy That's the thing, reviews have been fraudulent for some time now. I don't feel like checking everyone's profile to see if they're a legit reviewer. That's why i commented here.
TheRedRaven The issue is basically all of the enclosures are of the same quality. If you just need a way to pull the data off you can look at this by Inateck: www.amazon.com/Inateck-Universal-Converter-Adapter-Optical/dp/B00MLYV5XY Inateck used to send me a lot of gear to demo and it is really good stuff.
Eli the Computer Guy Thanks bud. Yeah I was looking just for an enclosure. I have a IDE/SATA cable already. It's just that I have hard drives lying around collecting dust. Edit: I heard some people talking about overheating issues in the enclosure, is that just hogwash or is it true?
TheRedRaven true enough that I can;t say it doesn't happen, but I wouldn't be overly worried about it. Basically any drive I put in an enclosure I figure is just for backups or low use. If I'm really going to hammer an external drive I'd just buy one from Western Digital. If you had a 3.5 drive I'd suggest you look at these: www.icydock.com/goods.php?id=147 They sent me a couple to demo and they are great, BUT their for 3.5 inch drives.
Very good point about taking regular vacations. A startup founder also made a similar point a few days ago on his blog www.benmilne.com/sometimes-just-go-home/
They also now have half sized cards .. so here they are .. 32 and 64gb msata drives. www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA53D1SC9145&cm_re=msata-_-9SIA53D1SC9145-_-Product www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA53D1SC9271&cm_re=msata-_-9SIA53D1SC9271-_-Product We have deployed NUC's all over my company. We also use the VESA mount and put them on the back of 24 inch monitors. They work great and are very inexpensive. If you use Windows Deployment Services and volume licenses for windows then your set.
I'd rather have a longer video when someone is demonstrating something, or teaching something. Its far easier to watch in 1 video rather than trying to find the rest of the videos in the series. Being certified in computer stuff doesn't mean anything in the real world. Anyone can go online and take tests and print a certificate...the real test is can you do it in the real world. This is what I find a lot. XX person comes in says they are certified in this that and the other and you put them to work, at the end of the day you find they don't know shit. Pieces of paper don't mean anything.
also ... here is the adapter to throw it in a laptop. I have 2 running like that right now. www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA6RP2EN4681&cm_re=msata-_-16U-0076-001W1-_-Product
your videos are too long. I love the content but can't watch because of the length. Maybe have a short and long video? I know you'd actually have to edit though, lol

Hello Eli,

Hey Eli, thanks for the intro to mSATA. I especially like the parts where you talk about practical applications for the mSATA in a small business.
I've got a 128GB half-size mSATA in my laptop and I'm loving it. It did have a premium price tag of 100€ +30€ import fee in december 2014, but it let me keep my terabyte HDD. Great little device.

I like your discussion about vacation. Could not agree more...well expressed.
OMG. New applications ahead. mSATA looks awesome. And this, from a guy who remembers when a 5MB Hard Drive was the best available.

Do a video on Arduino man. Some of the things people are doing with Arduino blows my mind.
Thanks for your work Eli and come to Brazil. Hugs
You, Sir! Got very good communication skills.
I have one for my intel NUC, it was very hard to find one of them, m.sata SSDs disappeared almost as soon as they appeared.
Hi Eli
Your videos are fantastic.. never get bored while listening to you.. Awesome..!!
Can you please post some vids on Storage protocols.. i would like to learn it from you.
my newest laptop has a free msata slot that ill be upgrading later. pretty neat when youre on a budget, as these are megacheap online. and of course getting cheaper by the day.
more more classes,they are very helpful.. :)
ur so l8 eli, been on msata for 1.5 years, but i do agree, the lack of proliferation upsets me, its the coolest form factor and almost noone except lenovo takes it seriously, and now they are acting like m.2 is replacing it, m.2 and ngff is so complicated
Woah I have that same Armtron thing! Still works too.
Eli...already there are M.2 drives in mainstream laptops and NIC like devices. The second generation of this that runs on the pcie bus like the drives in macbooks. mSata is alresdy 2 yesr old technology
NUC***
Best video Mr Eli
Help me buddy, I like coding but I can't..
I am here in October 2019 trying to learn about computers
I imagine a pci express video might be on its way.
Love my HP Envy with its 480GB boot msata drive and two 2TB 2.5" drives!!
Which HP Envy?
Another pritty cool usage is on laptops.
You can have for example a 128GB mSATA SSD drive for the OS and the apps and a 1TB HD for the data.
Ussing a standard SSD you could only have one unit, unless you use a 2.5" DVD Caddy obiusly but most of the laptops from today don't come with these drives.
So does this get rid of the read write life span of original SSDs?
Besides the fact they have adapters to normal SATA, you can literally shove it into anything you want, for a price. In this case, you can buy an adapter for around 10~30 dollars and probably a little more. I've even seen a usb sound card... Technology has an adapter for almost anything.

Can you please post a link of the nuke (the one where you installed m sata SSD).
I am planning to buy an i7 with a 1/2GB graphics card with any qty of m-Sata SSD.
LOL, its a NUC, not a Nuke. NUC stands for Next Unit of Computing
can I install windows onto this? wanting to update my Thinkpad x220 and really confused by these. do I even need my 2.5 drive anymore if I install the mSata SSD into my Thinkpad?
Imagine an adapter that RAIDs a number of these into one regular SATA slot. 2-3 for a laptop, or more for a desktop.
well shit, Eli you sold me. Do you need a programmer? what you said about vacations makes me think youre the perfect boss. Please expand your business to app development or something like that so I can work for you
My notebook had a 32gb SSD cache and a 5400 RPM hard drive, would there be any benefit to me upgrading the mechanical drive to a SSD drive?
Good Vid, Congrats
i have drobo and have a 128gb msata. if i get a 250gb or bigger mstata would it make my drobo faster??
mSATA was nice, but how it is obsolete. M.2 is the new mSATA. It supports both SATA 3.0 protocol and PCI-E protocol for speeds up to 1000 MB/s.
thankyou for the vids....I just want to upgrade my 80gb liteon(DMT-80M6M-11) msata into 512gb Plextor...how will I know if I can do that or is that compatible...thankyou again...cheers

actually the laptop I am considering buying has mstate drive just wish it was bigger than 128 more like 256 or 512.
Thank you
What about m.2??
Just my smartphone, tablet and laptop are my computers. I do not need smart everything always connected. When the devices are not in use they are off.
Can anyone here recommend me an enclosure for an old 2.5" IDE drive from a laptop?
+TheRedRaven any one off of newegg should be fine for you. Just check the reviews.
