    Hey guys,
    This is my first post, been aware of this site for a while but never signed up until now!
    I've just installed this little 30Gb OCZ Nocti mSata into one of my pci express port. I was thinking of setting it up to hold the Windows (7 64 bit) pagefile, as well as acting like a cache to the primary drive.
    Now I've updated the bios with a modified version for overclocking which I'll do later, I can't get into the bios with my external moniter.... :/
    After the update it still isn't being recognised, at all by windows!
    Has anyone else experienced similar problems? Really want to get this working, my laptop needs a speed boost!

    Contacted the seller, he said that it generally meant that the drive was dead.. Should send me out a new one. More waiting for post...! :p
    Can't wait to check out the speed...

    The wifi/WWAN pci-e port in your Acer can't host a mSATA drive. The port needs to have sata lines linked to it. Hence it needs to be a mSATA port. See the mSATA link in my sig for a list of systems with mSATA ports.
