Latitude 5480: WWAN slot bootable with SSD. "Confirmed"
Just confirmed that the WWAN slot can have an SSD installed.
The BIOS see's it as M.2 SATA2
Installed W10 with no problems.
The system boots from SSD installed in WWAN slot.
Best regards,

It is unorthodox but this was just for testing purposes.
256GB SSD in WWAN slot. "Boot Drive"
256GB SSD in M.2 slot.
256GB SSD in M.2 to SATA connected to JSATA1
All three are seen in the BIOS and by Disk Manager.

Can confirm that WWAN is supporting my m.2 Sata III SSD. I tested with Silicon Power A55 that was originally in my refurbished laptop. I was booting from M.2 slot (PCI-E SSD) with KDE Neon and it detected the Sata drive without a problem.
I am using Latitude 5480 with i7-7820HQ and dedicated GPU (non-functional due to ripped of Ram chip)
Edit: It looks like 42mm SSD will be the right length.
