sata ssd in an msata slot

[crossbow123]

Hi, I bought an msi gt70 laptop recently and ordered an SSD separately. Could I plug the normal ssd into the msata slot and make it work ?
Thanks !

No. You will need to purchase an mSATA drive if you want to use the mSATA port.

They are massively different. Here's a pic I found that will show the differences:
