The e6430 is different from the e6430u. I presume they have different motherboards. Not only are the motherboard dimensions and port layouts very different, the e6430u has USB 3.0 whereas the e6430 does not. The e6430u has one mSATA slot and no hard drive bays. The e6430 has one 9.5mm SATA hard drive bay and an expansion bay for a second. Therefore, the e6430u presents a different situation than a e6430. Dell could have done a better job with naming, as two very different laptops share nearly identical names!
Since the e6430u already has one (dedicated) mSATA slot, is the WWAN slot also equipped for mSATA?

It would appear the answer is no.
