Possible to connect this SSD to a SATA connector?

--- Quote ---What you have there is very likely what is being called "mSATA".  Basically, it's SATA on a mini-PCIe slot.  I very much dislike this because they're not really compatible in any way whatsoever.  They just re-used the connector because it was convenient.  It would be like putting Ethernet on a USB connector "because we had a lot of them laying around" (hey, kinda like the JVS IO "standard").

and then companies start wondering why the get damaged product back cause users plugged ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- into the wrong connector. THERE IS A REASON STUFF HAS DIFFERENT CONNECTORS ON THEM!!!

So I just tried the same thing with the exact same drive, bought one of these adaptors..

And everything fits fine but it turns out the drive uses pata (it is infact described as a pata ssd) so no it did not work.
Shame as I had plans for it!.
