Re: [Libreboot] X200 mSATA SSD not recognised

[Dakoya]

Alas, the goal was to have two working drives in the machine - one for
system (being the mSATA in one of the mini pcie slots) and one for other
things (movies, etc) so you could remove the "Other" drive and still have
a working system. The only solution to use mSATA would be to do a risky
soldering on the motherboard which I'm not skilled enough to do.
