    Just got my E6520 and had the back cover off to upgrade the memory to 2x2gb. Much smoother with Win7Pro than only 2GB.

    Anyway, I noticed near the bluetooth and wireless modules an empty slot labeled "FLASH SATA".

    What is this port for? Can I plug in some type of mini flash sata card (the slot is very small, only about 1"x1.25". It would be awesome if I could plug in a 64GB flash SSD card there or something...but the spot looks too small for a miniPCIe and certainly too small for a conventional SSD HD.

    Inquiring minds want to know...

    John Ratsey answered my question in this thread by pointing me to this (mSATA) thread.

    Thanks John!
