    I have a spare PCI-e slot in my dv2700 (originally for evdo card) and I was wondering if its possible to get a mini-pcie ssd (like from a dell mini) and boot from that.

    I am aware there won't be much speed increase, perhaps even a decrease but might be nice to be able to just use the hdd as secondary.

    No you cannot, or at least I know that to be true with my M17.
