    Hi,

    I'm currently looking at SSDs and found those neat mini PCIe SSDs.
    Seeing that my HP 2710p has got a second mini PCIe slot, I'm wondering whether I'd be able to plug in such a SSD.

    Thank you for your answers :)

    Not a chance. second slot is a whitelisted WWAN slot.
    Won't even work in the wifi slot. mPCIe SSD expects sata I/O pins, the wifi slot providing only pci-e pins. Only other way would be expresscard SSD.
