Straight to the point. Out of ~~stupidity~~ and ignorance, I bought an ssd with an mSATA connector for a netbook (model intel 310 series ).
But during the replacement, it turned out that this is not at all what I need. And it was necessary uSATA aka micro SATA.
I took it on eBay in the USA with shipment to Russia, more than two months have passed - so returning is not an option.
Now I'm thinking what to do with the disk. What device can they upgrade? Preferably a laptop with a 12"-14" screen and no more than $500-$700 (ideally 12" for $500, but it doesn't happen).
Give me ideas, please.
NB Well, don't throw them away!!!

If I understand everything correctly about this connector, then there are adapters.

In principle, it will fit into any beech where there is a SATA bus in the mini pcie connector, but there are not very many of them, I say right away.
For example, the latest generation Lenovo ThinkPad has such an interface.
If you don't need it, sell it and that's it, you'll probably still earn some money.

Theoretically, it should fit in Asus Eee pc T91.

Till. Fallback: buy mSATA to SATA Adapter from Renice - can be plugged into a 2.5" drive slot.
