Booting from PCIe SSD

[Justin Sherrill]

You could put a normal SSD in there, and if you needed to attach more
drives, use a Silicon Image port multiplier - if there's an eSATA
connector on the outside.

I realize that's answering a different question than the one you asked.

I'd like to add an SSD for boot and swapcache while not "sacrificing" the use of a full 3.5 inch bay and SATA port otherwise used for storage.
