OK I will try to stump everyone lol. I have a p7811fx (gateway laptop). It has 2 of what are described as miniPCIe slots. It's unknown to me (despite quite some effort) what exactly they actually are/to the system, and if they are the same. (miniPCIe is often confused, even 'officially' with mSATA). One slot has a WLAN card on it. Answering the question would require knowing the actual specs and capabilities of the slots in the system. The question: Could a miniPCIe SSD be put in that slot, could it be bootable, and if so, would it potentially allow better performance than a 2.5 SSD in one of the SATA II bays? (I'm pretty sure those are SATA II). It would be utterly amazing to me if anyone could actually find this out ! Win my geek kudos! lol
