On my laptop, I have an mSATA SSD that I am not using. Would it be possible to get a piece of hardware to convert mSATA to USB so that I could plug a 2.4Ghz wireless receiver for a keyboard and/or mouse into it to free up a USB port on the outside of the laptop?
I am encountering a few issues with this. First, I have yet to find hardware that goes from mSATA to USB. All I have been able to find is an image of something that may work - although, I cannot find its source and its form factor would not fit in my laptop. Does something like this actually exist in the correct form factor?
My second concern, would the computer even recognize the USB port and allow the 2.4Ghz receiver to function properly?
My last question is, would there be too much interference or physical obstructions to allow the 2.4Ghz receiver to function correctly from within the laptop?
