I need 2 more SATA connections, so I wanted to buy http://www.delock.com/produkte/G_95225/merkmale.html?setLanguage=en" rel="nofollow - this controller. I am not sure if this is going to work since the manual says MPCIE1 is used for wifi module. Does this mean I cannot insert an mini pci express sata controller in that slot?

Also, I read that there are multiple form factors within the MPCIE standard, but the manual is not clear about this as well. Its so confusing and I am afraid to blow up the slot.

Technically speaking, that would work. Just make sure you have the clearance before purchasing. Like you said, it's originally meant for wireless expandability so it's probably close as heck to the I/O.
