Ok so i have this dell mini9 16 GB SSD it was swapped out for a 32 GB runcore one.
I would like to use it in a normal PC as a boot disk.
the machine would just be for streaming movies and music from another machine elsewhere, so all it has to do is boot up and run a couple of players

it needs some kind of adapter though, the only one i could find is worth more than the SSD itself.

obviously im not going to waste too much money on it, i could boot over network, or USB stick.

if anyone has seen something cheaper in there travels i would like to know!
 
apparantly it cant work because those drives are actually not using standard PCI-e, just the connector, and it has SATA going through it.

maybe i can bodge up a connector if its allready sata.

bah cant be bothered its on ebay :D
