Not sure if it matters but I have Libreboot installed. It’s the slot located next to the drive slot.

Also any other upgrade recommendations while I’m at it? I have maxed out the RAM and have an SSD. I am wondering if I should upgrade the WiFi card. I don’t know if there are any limitations there.

    How about a Turbo Memory card? The support on Windows seems terrible, but under Linux, it would show up as superfast 1GB or 2GB flash drive.

    I haven’t tried it myself, but I am (loosely) planing to.

        Not sure about the exact speed, but it’s a NAND on a PCIE x1

      I was looking at that myself. Some ThinkPad forum posts seem to suggest it only helps if you don’t have an SSD.

      If it actually functions as a secondary drive that’s incredibly fast that would be a neat novelty.

        I’ve seen something similar. What I gotten from that is the fact above only applies when you’re using it as an accelerator (as intended).

        Yes, it would function as a drive, at least under Linux.

        Once again, I haven’t actually used this thing…
