Hello, 

 

i'm curious about empty port, that I found out on the bottom of my workstation. 

I know, that proppably it's port for wifi card, but I'm not sure, why would my laptop have one extra port for wifi. So just to be sure I'd like to ask if it's really extra wifi card port, or if I can use it to connect MSATA SSD. 

 

+ additional question - I've seen some tutorials of, how to plug in external graphic card, using this kind of port. So I'm curious if someone have any experience with that 🙂

 

Picture of port:

Thanks a lot guys 🙂

Hi:

 

That slot is used for a mobile broadband (WWAN) card.

 

That would be all you could use it for as far as I know.

 

I can't answer your other question.
