Hi Lachlan, The mSATA SSD should not matter if it is MLC or SLC.
I have personally tried (and using) a Western Digital SiliconDrive A100 4GB mSATA SSD, but it seems Newegg is out of stock. I did not have to change any BIOS settings, it just worked. It may be possible there are subtile differences in mSATA SSD's. How did you get the AstLinux image onto the mSATA ? I used a mSATA to SATA adapter card that I could mount via USB to my desktop.
