What kind of slot is the WWAN card slot? Is it MiniPCIe?
If that is the case, has anyone tried using an mSATA SSD in the slot?
-
1. Yes
2. Yes, without success. XPS 15 SATA controller is not linked to the mini pci-e slots. -
Bugger.
Has anyone tried miniPCIe SSDs? -
Slightly OT: I have a 5540 WWAN card (rated at 7.2Mbps). I want to upgrade to a 5550 (rated at 21Mbps according to Ericsson, but 8Mbps(???) according to Dell). Has anyone tried this? Any insights?
Thanks! -

If you want a mSATA SSD in your system then consider routing the e-SATA port internally. You'd need 6 wires to do it: SATA TX+/TX-/RX+/TX-, GND and 3.3V.
We need someone to start a mSATA retrofit thread showing how to do it as it's been commonly requested recently.eeeeeeehsan likes this. -
