the pcie card would have to be its own controller. how the controller is
attached to the on-board drive doesn't have to be visible to anyone using
the part. i've never used one of these things. one hopes that a custom
driver isn't required for each pcie-attached drive.

i wasn't thinking of laptops, but now that you mention it,
i'd certainly want hot-swap on a laptop. especially if i can
have more than one drive.
