It's an mSATA mini half size, which is defunct. From what I could find, your laptop was capable of utilizing a pre-installed SSD cache, but it was never used. It's unusable for anything else, as it won't support OS booting.

If you're looking to upgrade to an SSD, you'll have to use a 2.5" SATA SSD.

so you mean if I install the mSATA, there was no function at all including OS booting?

It appears that way. Even if you got it to work, it wouldn't be worth it.
