msata and m.2 are different sockets, not interchangeable; you need to make sure you have the right one, maybe open it up and see

This absolutely does have an mSATA slot. I have a Plextor 128GB M5M in there right now. You have to remove 17 screws on the bottom of the laptop first, but it's very easy. I have this exact model (V5-573P-6896). The two prior answers are 100% incorrect.

No it's not a standard msata, it's a custom interface and form factor. Similar to the MacBook Air but not compatible with that.

No it does not. Your going to have to find one that is a newer version. This one is for tablets only of the older style micro port

No, this adapter is for putting an msata drive in a computer that has a standard sata connector.

It is not according to crucials website. The msata/PCI express slot is prepopulated with the WiFi card.

Yes, it does. It is an MMC, XD, SD, SDHC, MS/PRO card reader on the front panel. The only drawback in my case is that it has stopped working a long time ago, and I have struggled to fix it ever since. I suspect it's a matter of updating or re-installing drivers, which I am to get to yet.

No. This model can be ordered with an MSATA adapter, but this does not come by default. Let me know if you would like us to add this to your order.

I took it back and returned it after one day I was so unhappy with it. I don't remember if it had a usp port or not.

There's no mSATA port in external chassis. Inside the laptop it should have a mSATA bracket to install mSATA SSD. We can verify with MSI next Monday.

My experience would say yes, what you're asking is certainly possible and that you should also contact Gigabyte and/or provide more info to be sure. In general what you're asking is a common setup. You should check to make sure your mSATA port is SATA 3 also, because I have the feeling it might not be. I'm back because I became curious and did some homework. I foresee no problems and that you'll likely just have to tell it to boot to mSATA in BIOS. It also appears that your mSATA is SATA 2, if that matters to you.

no but has a port area where you can either add one or use an external drive

1) No. You will have to supply the Ram which will be laptop memory. DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) 2) Just one HDMI port. 3) No, it takes mSATA.

It works with any piece of equipment having mSATA port onboard. Check your Lenovo specs.

No, there is no mSATA socket and space. I replaced the HDD of my SL510 with a SATA SSD and it flies!
