I just ordered a larger mini pcie SSD for my dell mini 9. Since I'll have a leftover 8GB SSD, I was thinking it'd be nice to put it to some use. Perhaps replace the monowall box with something beefier or something.

I was trying to find a way to convert the mini pcie to something easier to manage such as sata, ide, usb, etc... I did some googling and cruising on newegg and didnt find much other than this animal which looks to be a packaged SSD/USB device rather than the enclosure by itself. Any ideas?

Other option I thought of was to try to find a cheapo itx board that has a mini pcie interface, but it'd be nice to reuse some of the other hardware lying around the house.

Thanks!
 
You're not going to find much honestly. The SSD is probably connected via USB internally as mini-PCIe has that integrated. Getting it converted to anything but that would be difficult and that Buffalo thing is the only one that I know that will do what you are after.
