    Hi All!
    Has anyone tried fitting a SSD Pcie mini half card in the space available for the TV tuner card?
    I'm interested in fitting a Super Talent FEM32GFDL SSD, loading the O/S on it and using the original HDD as storage.
    Will the system bios support it?
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated

    It wont work.
    The Mini PCI-e slots in the XPS dont have a SATA/IDE/PATA channel.
    I think mainly only netbooks and a very limited other few models actually have a mini PCI-e slot with SATA/IDE/PATA channels
