Gemini X45 and half mSATA

MaGiDeL

Hi, I've had the miniPC in question for some time with a 128Gb mSATA SSD, and I recently bought a larger 256Gb half mSATA SSD.
I wanted to install it in the lowest SATA port (port 1), but the bios doesn't recognize it (image 1).

As you can see from the photo (Not Installed) (image 2):

If I install it in the main port (port 0) instead the bios recognizes it. (image 3)

I tried to install the old mSATA SSD 128Gb in port 0 and the new mSATA SSD 256Gb in port 1, but the bios only recognizes the old 128Gb SSD, the new 256Gb one is not recognized. (image 4)

I also tried disabling port 0 leaving port 1 enabled with the new SSD, but it doesn't recognize it either.
Do I have to activate a bios entry to "override" the port 0 check to use only port 1 with the new SSD?
Best regards

I think the lowest SATA port (port1) as you say is not a msata port, I think it is a half-mini-pice port.

I have a X55 and want to upgrade the ssd, I also bought a msata and plug in the lowest port.

nothing happend.

I think the so called port is half-mini-pcie port only for pcie devices, wifi or minipcie ssd.
