I'll be getting a Node 304 build this summer, but there is one thing I'm not sure about: can I put an msata ssd in the onboard msata slot and use it as a bootdrive? I'm using the Asrock Z87E
The Asrock page only mentions using it as a cache drive for a mechanical drive. In the manual it says that the SATA3_4 connector is shared with the msata slot, so I guess it should be possible? I want to be sure tho, so I'm posting it here :)
the m2-sata slot is probably shared, with an onboard sata port 3/4 you probably need to set those ports at m-sata in the bios. the m-sata slot probably runs from an as-media chip not from the southbridge.
