Beside the Intel Turbo Memory module, what else can be put into this space?

SSD I would think, if it's mini-PCIe

Nope. That won't work on a T61.
Other than Broadcom HD Decoder card there's really not much out there, if anything.

I have bought an adapter card with an USB port, and inserted the USB receiver from my wireless Logitech mouse.
The mouse receiver is now hidden, and impossible to damage or loose.
Another option is to install a USB flash drive, but it will have slow transfer speed (USB 2.0 limited).

The Broadcom HD decoder also only makes sense on Integrated T61s, because nVidia T61s have built in support for HD video decoding
(said decoder is also good on any T60/p or Z60/Z61)

I have done this on many units. I dont remember a T61 but im thinking with the right BIOS it will.

interesting device
i thought i had seen it all and yet this exists
it would make sense if you have an ssd for the main sata drive but needed some supplementary slower secondary storage with all the downsides of an sd card
or you can use an ultrabay device?

There are TV tuners available for miniPCIe.

That's true, and could be a useful addition for someone who is often, or always, in a strong signal area. But, it made me smile to think about doing that in my area since we must have something like this antenna

...I've done this with my X201t and E6430 and an ExpressCard, although at home instead of mobile...
