    I was customizing a W530 laptop and saw that there is no option for a mSATA SSD. The T series thinkpads do. What is stored on the mSATA ssd's configured by lenovo anyway? Is it just the windows OS? If that is the case, then does that mean the mini pci-e slots are boot-able via the BIOS? And if that is the case, couldn't I just by my own mSATA ssd, install windows on it, and select it as the main boot device in the BIOS?

    Yes you can easily install one yourself.
