    It doesn't appear to have an additional slot on the bottom.

    Besides, there is only one screwhole post. That shows for certain there is only one mPCIe slot there for your mSATA.

    There is nothing below. That is just the mSATA /mPCIe riser connector to keep it above the other electronics.

    Do you have an external eSATA port? Also it could be a ghost port that just isn't utilized on that laptop.
