When putting in a mSata SSD into the WWAN slot, the mSata SSD is not detected in BIOS and can't be selected as a usable drive.

If BIOS has been upgraded to version 1.18 and above and mSata SSD is still not detected, it means one of two things:
1. the mSATA SSD is defective
2. it indicates some incompatibilty between the SSD and the ThinkPad for which there is not currently any solution
Based on customers postings on the forum tested with BIOS 1.18 and above the following mSata is working on their X220.
- Intel 310 - 80GB mSata
- Intel 310 - 40GB mSata
- MyDigitalSSD - 128GB mSata
