Posting on behalf of my roommate who is too lazy to register on tftv
While I was cleaning my laptop I accidentally soldered off the SATA connector. On this connector I've had an SSD connected. Is it possible to solder the SATA connector back on the mother board or a new mother board is required. Also I bought an external casing for the SSD and connected it to the laptop through the usb 3.0 port. I have no idea if it slowed down the r/w speed of the SSD. In the link I provided below I have saved a report from HWinfo.
Thanks for your help

good luck with that.
the good method needs a solder bath or one of those oven-like machines for boards.
bad ways can be epoxy or iron + wick. You may need a powerful iron as these boards have lots of layers and dont take heat too well + if you keep the iron too long you can lift the traces off the pcb

Why was he cleaning the laptop with a soldering iron?
Pictures would be more important than HWinfo because that doesn't tell me anything.
If it's clean he can just solder it back on, but I highly doubt that he has properly and cleanly accidentally desoldered the SATA connector.

Well no one should buy SSDs for the sequential speed. 400 or 500 MB/s doesn't matter that much. IOPS are more important.
#3
He doesn't want to resolder the whole board so wave soldering or a reflow oven is really not what he needs.
Hot air rework station would be nice but is not required.
