What Is mSATA Intel Tech

My board supports it but never really understood what it really is for? I assume it's a boost tech for people using HDD only system ????

mSATA is a socket. You can see it directly below your CPU. They are normally for laptops, but some boards (like yours and mine) have them. You can see me install a SSD mSATA card in my laptop here.

Beyond that, I'm not sure what you are asking.

What would it do to my system if I added one would it make any improvement

mSATA (mini-SATA) is the same thing as SATA, just a different, smaller connector. So, adding a mSATA SSD would be pretty much the same as adding another Crucial M4 to one of your normal SATA connectors unless you use Intel Smart Response Technology for caching your HDD.
