Ordering a New X220 (want to use mSata SSD)

[Tazzi14]

I'm going to order a X220 and was wondering if the Display Type (Antenna) options or Integrated WiFi options matter in my ability to add a mSata Card?

I want the i7 processor, premium Screen and best Wifi that will allow me to use a mSata card.

Thanks

No, the only thing that would restrict you from using mSATA SSD if you order a WWAN card (Cell 3G internet), because it uses the same slot.

As commented by HiVolt, first thing to check if you are using a WWAN card then the slot would be used and you no longer use it with the mSata card.

Another thing which you need to check is the compatibility of mSata card with the X220.

See discussion here for compatible cards

A KB on the X220 mSata cards as well.
