FWIW, It appears that only the DN2800MT has mSATA and the D2500CCE does not.

D2500CCE has Mini PCI-e. Aren't Mini PCI-e and mSata compatible?

No, they both use the same connector.

MiniPCI-e doesn't guarantee mSATA support.

This is correct, while the connector is the same, they are electrically different. SOME motherboards will allow you to switch a connector between Mini PCIe and mSATA duty, however not all do this. You cannot assume mSATA is supported unless it is listed in the specs.
