Can I use msata SSD in a laptop Dell Xps m 1530?

According to this site, it does. Based off of this site, it should be 50mm long.

i dont believe there is a dedicated mSATA port on the machine, but its signalling is the same as SATA, you just need to get a mSATA to 2.5" HDD adapter and use it in place of the the current HD

I want to use a free miniPCI slot to connect an mSata SSD.
