I read some articles online suggesting this may be possible for some machines, and there appear to be express card SSDs. I'm not clear though.

I searched the forum with those keywords, but only found posts about video cards.

Can this be done? (leaving a spinning hard disk for the big files). Is there a reason it's not worthwhile even if it can be done?

Thanks
Bret

You can not boot from a drive in express card because the BIOS of T6x does not recognize ATA / SATA controller connected to express card, if any.
Some links on this site:
ExpressCard/54 vs. PCI-e for eSATA external hard drive
Boot from expresscard
Should T60 BIOS detect a SATA controller in the xcard slot?
