    Is that inside port/slot available not documented yet?

    Mini PCI and MSATA slots share the same form factors, which is perhaps where the confusion lies. Some machines can accept an SSD in such a slot but plenty of them can't. I use a secondary Wifi card in my slot or a WWAN GPS card when I go traveling with it. It depends whether the motherboard allows it from what I gather. Apparently the HP ZBook can accept an MSATA and use it as an SSD cache to speed up loading some applications but it's worth a check to make sure I'm not talking absolute rubbish.

    On the ZBook 17 G2 can you install an mSATA in that slot or it the connections not compatible?
