The difference between the notebook mini pci-e and the mSATA interface

With the heat of solid-state drives, more and more friends began to pay attention to whether the notebook reserved mSATA interface, but because the mSATA interface and the mini pci-e look exactly the same, the problem will follow.

Mini PCI-E from its name can be seen, is a mini version of the Pci-e interface, using the PCI-E bus, support equipment is WiFi wireless card, 3G card, etc.

mSATA is the SATA bus, mainly used to connect solid-state drives, and mini PCI-E is incompatible.

What kind of interface, from the cost of see no difference, in general, responsible manufacturers will be in the mini PCI-E interface labeled WLAN, and even embedded antenna. mSATA interface if not marked, can not be judged from the appearance, can only inquire about the manufacturer's relevant information.
