The ExpressCard is PCIe 2.0.

eGPU works on older generation (X220, for example), so the T530 should definitely be capable of it. The only possible issue I see is if the BIOS somehow limits the reserved memory address space for PCI devices (there was a limitation like this with the X220 for a while which severely hindered eGPU capabilities).

Not sure about mPCIe vs mSATA.
