I have tried to look up the specifications on that laptop and nowhere do I see anything about a mSATA port on the results. Do you have any URL that definitely shows that information.

Here is something that I found which could be the reason that you cannot see the mSATA SSD. "The mSATA connector is similar in appearance to a PCI Express Mini Card interface,^[56] but is not electrically compatible;"

Did you go to Manage (also called Computer Management)/Disk Management and activate and format it?
