Question msata adapters for older laptop?

[Slycooper91]

Is there some adapter that can convert one of the mini pcie port in a dv7-1270us to a msata port? The ports work with a mini pci-e to USB adapter and i can plug a USB flash drive and it works, but it doesn't work with a msata pci card the card just heats up. the msata card works in my msata to 2.5" HDD enclosure. I have the HDD bays with 2, 1 tb drives in it already and ssds are still to expensive for me for the capacities i want.

theres some adapters online (mini pcie to msata) but fitment will depends on your laptop available space, and no guarantees on functionality. Not many people do these things.
