    I want to install an mSata on my np9150 and from the looks of this video
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3tE4_qxG7s&list=LLQDUrxcHOJHA9Z6pDNU6TdQ&index=49
    It looks pretty easy.I know thats for the np8150 but the 9150 should be pretty much the same thing i think. Anyways, I'm looking through ebay but i notice that there is a "Form Factor" option with 3 choices, 1.8", 2.5" and 3.5" which would should i click on or would any of them work?
    Also any advice on which msata(what brand) i should get is appreciated.

    The samsung evo 840 is one of the better consumer cards.

    The inch sizes are for sata drives (and related to old platter sizes which had a certain form factor that ssds share for consistency), not msata.

    Don't mean to bump a dead thread but all i have to do to install the msata is pop it into its slot right? Nothing else i have to do like change some things in the BIOS or something?

    All you do have to do is pop it in. You may want to check the BIOS to make sure the SATA connection type is set to AHCI instead of IDE.
