Is there any way to get this mPCIe (half-height) board with low-profile SATA plugs (so that it will fit in a laptop)?

you can get a right angle low profile SATA cable if that fits in your notebook. We don't sell them individually currently. But you can get them from Amazon.

It needs to have a PCIe Slot (x1, preferable, but even a x4, x8, or x16 slot will work)

Make sure you have, or this unit comes with, a drive caddy so it will securely fit in a 3.5 drive bay. As long as the bios supports sata the this drive will work as a replacement for a standard desktop drive.

I haven't that setup myself but Satacables.com sells a versatile adapter, SS-41MPS that should satisfy your needs.

I don't think so, it's sized for a laptop including the connector. Be aware if your upgrading to a much larger hard drive your BIOS may need to be updated.

Gee, bought a lot of boards from Amazon but I do remember using laptop memory for this board. If you can get by w/o USB3, the Gigabyte brand combo is better since it has 2 EtherNet ports, at least for my application. Hope this helps.

yes, undo 4 screws and add a stick of laptop memory. there are videos on youtube how to do it. very simple.

It is just the bare drive, basically a circuit board in a plastic shell. Very thin and light. The connector is a SATA plug-in. If you're replacing a notebook drive, it should plug right in. I would get an adapter bracket and cable for a 3.5" drive bay in a desktop. My bare-bones HTPC came with the adapter.

1st make sure those are 2.5" slots, SSD size slots, and not 3.5". If they are 3.5" you'll need the SSD adapter to make it bigger and fit the slot. You will need to buy a cable, if you do not already have one. You'll need it for a SATA connection. The drives I got were barebones and just contained the drives and a few documents and nothing else.

Not likely - this is a _mini_ SATA connector, not a full size SATA connector.

Very unlikely unless you have a SATA to mSATA adapter which can cause data integrity issues

This is an mSATA form factor. Should fit in most modern ultrabooks and NUCs.

Check this out. http://www.amazon.com/HDE%C2%AE-SATA-Drive-Interface-Adapter/dp/B0096BEJDI/ref=pd_bxgy_pc_text_y I got this by mistake when I wanted the other. This is a board that sticks straight from the back of the hard drive, so space may be a problem.

Yea should not be a problem at all, the new sata plug is a real small plug unlike the old ribbons that were flat and gray and had 40 or 80 wires. The stat just have four or six wires and are on a faster bus on the motherboard for much faster transfer, but yes your ok with that.

From what I can tell, yes. It should fit in the half Mini PCI card slot above the Optical drive and the left side of the laptop.

I've used this in a desktop, but the form factor is the same of the others 2.5", just slightly slimmer, it should fit in any 2.5" sata bay. You can find the exact dimensions on the vendor though

I dont think so, its not an msata interface, its a mini pcie instead. You can find more info on manufacturer's site.
