    Hi,

    I just purchased a ThinkPad L430 which apparently has no mini PCI express slot. Is it possible to purchase mini PCI express slot (if any available) and install the slot myself?

    If not, what are other alternatives to install a mSATA SSD on my laptop? I have a spare mSATA SSD that I can utilize.

    Thanks.

    Haris

    The SATA slot is not available in this context since I have installed a SSD there or I want to keep my HDD.
