Q1> msata 同 mini pcie 一樣?
A1>The connector is similar in appearance to a PCI Express Mini Card interface and is electrically compatible; however, the data signals (TX±/RX± SATA, PETn0 PETp0 PERn0 PERp0 PCI-express) need connection to the SATA host controller instead of the PCI-express host controller

Mini PCIe是可以跑SATA或者PATA通道的，需要主板支持。
mSATA是SATA协议的一支，接口封装也可以是Mini PCIe的。

Therefore, for Eee 900/901, it is better to check with ASUS if the motherboard support and if BIOS upgrade is needed.
