Does my laptop have space for an ssd?

[ishdafish2_]

Hey I asked this question a while ago and on Lenovo fourms as I have a Lenovo z500.

The Lenovo fourms said

 

"" No, there is no M.2 slot as the Z500 still uses the older Mini PCI  Express standard.

 

However, while there is one Mini PCI Express slot for the WLAN module, some versions seem to be missing a second Mini PCI Express slot: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-P-Y-and-Z-seri​es/Ideapad-Z500-mSATA-SSD/m-p/956745#M47830

 

In addition, the HMM doesn't mention that the second Mini PCI Express slot supports the mSATA signaling:

Therefore, I recommend getting an adapter for the optical drive bay."""

 

Can someone explain to me what this means and link me to an optical drive bay adapter

 

Thanks

Ish
