    Can anyone here confirm whether the NP5160 has a full length mPCI slot on it somewhere? Coming here for help since I'm sure more of you guys have 5160's than the forum people over at the place I might be ordering one at ( www.digitalstormonline.com). The reason why me and possibly some others are interested is because we want to stick in a Intel 310 SSD, which I'm sure everyone here knows uses the mSATA form factor. So far, we haven't located a mPCI slot on the 5160 that'll accept it, seeing as most of it is designed with half-size mPCI cards in mind.

    I looked up Sager's site though, and it's not mentioned that the Advanced-N 6230 card is half or not, so I'm not sure or not whether it'll be full size and therefore mean that the 5160 has an available full length slot.

    *The mPCI slot near the processor and not the DRAM seems like a full mPCI card will fit, but whether it can be securely tied down or not I don't know...
