I was having trouble getting to Asus' site so I had to look at Newegg for the specs. but it looks like that slot is intended for a Wifi card?
I'm almost positive msata drives are bootable but I don't know for sure if ngffm.2 drives are. I feel like they should be, but Im not sure as the one in my laptop is set up as a cache drive not an actual hard drive. And I believe those types of ssd still arent as common yet (compared to msata)
