    Hi guys,

    I am fairly new here, so I would like to apologize in advance for any mistakes.
    I am planning on getting a Toshiba Satellite P55T B5154. Since its a fairly new system I would like to know if its mSATA or m.2 ssd compatible, since I would like to add a ssd in addition to the already present.

    Thank you,

    Neither, but you could use a SATA III to dual mSATA adapter (have that in a Latitude D800 ...). It would permit max. 2x 1TB = 2TB SSD storage. Speed would be limited to single SATA, of course, so you might as well run them as JBOD (or in mirror). In addition, there's the option to sacrifice the optical bay (slimline SATA, presumably) to recycle the HDD.

    Errr ... you want SATA -> mSATA -> PCIe? Or do you want to sacrifice the WLAN slot?
