If the mSATA SSD is not correct then it will NOT show up at all. If there is issues with that it boots ok, but have trouble rebooting, then it's most likely a software issue. The earliest net6501 BIOS did have an issue with rebooting, but have been fixed long time ago. > I ordered one more recently and modified the drive on only the > assumption that it was out of spec. > > I'll receive another shortly.

The mSATA presense detect is pin 51, you can kinda follow the trace from the resistor. The spec says it shall be max 200 ohm. Btw, I just talked to our production manager, it turns out that although Transcend have updated their mSATA SSD, we received some old ones mixed in with new one a couple of times.... So to ensure things work we still test every single one here before shipping out.
