Stupid question

[Uhtred]

So I have an oldish laptop, a 8440p HP elitebook which doesn't have MSATA.

I want to add an SSD but without removing the current mechanical HDD or the DVD rewriter.

I've noticed that there is a slot marked 'wwan' which is vacant and I was wondering if there was a way of getting an SSD into that slot (isn't it just a pcie mini?).

My google searches have confused me to be honest so I thought I would ask here.

Here's a picture of the slot.

I guess what I'm asking is if there a way to convert pcie mini to msata? I suppose not but I thought I'd ask.

As you say I can remove the DVD and buy a converter bay, that is an option but I would also need to buy an external dvd writer so if there is a way to use that slot I would prefer that.
