Re: [Soekris] mSATA SSDs for a net 6501

[Eric]

Hi Jeff,
I've used Intel, Crucial, and Kingston SSDs in the 20-256GB range without issue 
with OpenBSD 6.0 on a few net6501s.
Only catch that comes to mind is that the mSATA slots are shared with the SATA 
ports, so you're limited to two SATA driver for either form factor without an 
additional SATA controller.

mSATA has no unusual size limitations that I am aware of.  The BIOS should be 
reasonable about it as well.  you shouldn’t hit oddities at any size under 2TB. 
 I can’t speak personally about mSATA compatibility on the 6501 as I’ve only 
used my Soekris purchased mSATA drives on those.  Although I have used plenty 
of other 2.5” SATA drives with them successfully. (Intel, WD, Seagate, SSD and 
magnetic)
