Do my Laptop Supports PCIe SSD?

[Akash_23]

My Laptop:

Asus G551JX-DM036H ROG Series

I opened my laptop..
It has a small slot for SSD.
May be it's mSATA.

Can i put PCIe in that mSATA slot?

I want to install PCIe SSD in my laptop..


If i install mSATA then is it for cache only like SSHD?
Or if i install 250GB mSATA then i can move my OS it too??

Thanks

No laptops ever support PCI-e SSDs. Laptops are too small to fit a full size PCI-e slot.

Yes, that has an mSATA slot. Go ahead, get an mSATA SSD and take out everything. Put your new prize and reassemble.

mSATA. You don't want to replace an entire HDD, do you? You can get 2 drives.

Yes, and yes.
