Newly installed SSD 310 not recognised

[idata]

Hi,

I have just purchased a new SSD 310 80 gb drive, to speed up boot and programme access times on my Shuttle SX38P2 Pro. Disc would appear to be correctly fitted, I have downloaded the firmware iso, burnt it, booted to it, but the new SSD is not recognised

Where to start? !

Thanks

Which means?

See here

Intel SSD 310 Series 80GB, SATA PCIe mini Card (SSDMAEMC080G2C1)

Confused!

Cheers

it means that the 310 will not work. think of msata as an actual sata port that merely looks like a mini pci-e port. sata and pci-e are different protocols, thus the incompatibility.

the specs on that link are misleading.

Cheers. Will have to send it back. That's a drag, never mind

Your advice much appreciated. You wouldn't by any chance be able to suggest a card that would work? As noted, there are, according to Google, SSDs working in the Shuttle model.

Cheers
