Laptop | What connector is this and what for?

The connector in question: https://i.imgur.com/hmhX5pi.jpg

It's an old C2D [Medion Akoya P8610](https://www.notebookcheck.net/Medion-P8610.13501.0.html) that was gifted to me from a non-tech savvy friend because the screen is destroyed. I opened the cover of the hard drive bay (part of the empty bay can be seen on the right side in the picture) and found this non-descript connector.

8pins connected with a ribbon cable similar to the display cable.

As you can probably see in the picture, this is a separated bay from the hard drive or everything else and the screw supports suggest to me that it was used as an extension bay or space for an additional module. Google wasn't very helpful and I don't know a lot about Laptops; I found a Bluetooth module that has a similar looking connection, but you could fit probably 3 or 4 of those modules into this empty space. [Pic with a ruler](https://i.imgur.com/w2s1wFC.jpg) height is about 18mm. I'm also pretty sure that it was never openend before and bought new; many screw covers were still on.

Hope this is enough information and thanks in advance!
