Can this thing be put in a WWAN slot?

What laptop? Assuming it's the WWAN slot of a laptop.
That's an mSATA drive, so it requires the WWAN slot to also support mSATA. If it doesn't, it won't work.

Depends on if your mPCIe slot supports mSATA. From my experience the WWAN slot may not, but the slot your Wi-Fi card is in might. You could just pop the Wi-Fi card in the WWAN slot and use the mSATA card in the slot you just freed if that's the case.

You can put it into the WWAN slot because they are both mPCIe devices.
Whether or not your mPCIe supports mSATA is another thing.

They use the same hardware for the port/slot, but different wiring and standards obviously.

Some simple googling turned up the following: probably won't work.
Do they make actual mPCIe SSDs or just mSATA?

There are some 8gb or so mPCIe SSDs you can find here and there that were for like Eee PCs or something but like 99.999% are mSATA. The mPCIe ones require a SATA controller on-board, and the space they have is already tight so that doesn't really work all that well.
Not op but is it a good idea to get that card he linked to?
Can anyone link an SSD that would work on the WWAN port?

It's not a WWAN port, it's an mPCIe port

Help, should i trust this chinaman.
So, does anyone know where one could buy an SSD which would work through PCIe and what model would it be?
