Hi guys!

I just got myself a w520 and was thinking about getting an mSata as my 3rd hard drive. I am however wondering; since there are two pcie slots in the w520 (wifi/wimax uninstalled), maybe it would be possible to install two mSatas and then stripe them? Anyone know if this is possible? Thank you

(An admin/mod might want to move this to the W520 board.)

I'm pretty confident this is not possible. Mini pci-e is necessary but not sufficient to support mSATA; the main board must also include additional circuitry and I have never heard that this was done for the WiFi slot as well as the WWAN slot.
