I received my adapter and msata drive.
The adapter I got is

All went smooth except the adapter fit in the CIC. The rotating drives I have including the original Toshiba and another I had out of and old laptop have little ears that help alignment of the connector as it is inserted. The Ableconn adapter does not have that. Out of ten insertion attempts maybe one goes in correctly. I know it is a mechanical issue because I cloned the SSD drive to a rotating drive and it works fine. I might remove some of the flange on the outside so I can see to align the inside connector but for now I am looking for a different adapter.
For the person who asked about using an external drive in Neutrino ntfs is only supported as a read only file system. FAT32 is supported as a USB file system. Add it as a hard drive and it auto mounts as something like /fs/hd1-dos/. Use df to see for your case. I used a fat32 thumb drive so I would have a copy of all the files in the partitions out of the virtual drive.
