Can a mSATA SSD be put in a SATA 6Gb/s port?

Hi,
I am looking at getting a "A-Data Premier Pro SP310 32GB mSATA Solid State Drive" as a quick-write SSD for recording. The reason why I have chosen this particular model is because it is fast and claim to be 6gb/s. I dont need a big amount of storage space as it will only be used for recording 720p|60fps videos. So, I was wondering whether my "Gigabyte 970A-D3P" motherboard is compatible with said SSD and whether there is anything else I should be aware of.

Thanks Heaps!

P.S.
Noticed something about activating "Intel Rapid Storage Technology" in the BIOS... will I have that even though I have a AMD (AM3+) motherboard?

No an MSata SSD wont fit in a sata port. It's a card. You can only use a MSata card / SSD on a mobo thats got the slot for it

You would have to buy a mobo with a Msata slot on it, or one thats got the new m.2 slot. Which is later than MSata

But you can buy adapters for Msata SSD's.

Thanks for the swift reply... I am thinking of buying the "Transcend SSD370 64GB 2.5" Solid State Drive" then because it has the right interface and even though it is more expensive it has 2x the storage (not that I will need it). Thanks so much!
