Quoting Ed Greshko <ed.greshko@xxxxxxxxxxx>:
I still say the best source of information on these sort of things
is the manufacturer. I
would call them, and without mentioning Linux, ask them if the
plugged in SSD will show up
in the BIOS screens and where would that be.
I don't have a laptop such as yours but if the drive is just like
any drive I would expect
it to show up on the screen where you select the boot order. On my
desktop the HD's and
Optical Drive are all on SATA so they all show up in the boot order screen.
*sigh* ... never mind, i believe we have the answer, and i'm embarrassed.
the slots in the laptop are clearly labelled "PCIe", and i just checked
the specs on the SSD drive and it uses the SATA III interface, which i'm
pretty sure is not going to work as explained here:
http://www.kingston.com/en/ssd/s/m2_faq
i'm also a little irked since i bought the laptop and the SSD drive at
the same time and specifically mentioned that i was putting that drive
in that laptop, and not a single salesperson warned me of the obvious
incompatibility.
also irked that subsequent follow-up calls to tech support never once
had someone suggest checking that. and it didn't help that the slot
format is the same for both interfaces.
grrrrrrrr ...
