Go to solution Solved by TidalZelda,

Thats M.2 M key'ed, which can be "PCIe ×4, SATA and SMBus" according to Wikipedia,

Ii cannot guarantee if it has sata or PCIe, but considering the wifi card on the other side, i would put money on it being PCIe.

 

Wikipedia link on M.2

To my eye that looks too wide to be M.2, that looks like MXM, commonly used for laptop GPUs.

No, it's an mSATA-port.

 

EDIT: Actually, the screw-hole is in the wrong place. Not sure if it's mSATA, either.
