        Anything you do to add the mSATA as a second drive will be outside what is designed to be done in the webGUI.

        I would back up the config, reinstall to the mSATA, restore the config, and forget the on-board eMMC exists.

        The factory installer should install to and boot from the mSATA automatically.

        Then you will have a standard configuration and not a special case.

          That makes the most sense so will give it a shot.  Thanks!
