So I am actually confused by you guys now. Say I want to move my mech HDD to my ODD and replace my mech HDD with a mSata or SSD. Will this be an issue?

QUOTE(storm88 @ Dec 19 2012, 01:23 PM) nope Wokay bro, I'mma get a mSATA SSD just to speed up loading a bit XDany mSATA can be used as cache or standalone drive. Putting the Drive mode from ACHI to Raid will enable the caching method. imo, for the SSD solution in Y580, i recommends using mSATA instead of transfering your harddisk to caddy. Quite some customer walk into my shop buying Y580 but with their own caddy bay bought at forum. The built of the caddy directly affect the slotting which will leave out extra space that the whole caddy is quite "Koyang" Mechanical harddrive is very sensitive of vibration especially when you're working with your unit. Added on December 19, 2012, 1:24 pm you may find mSATA from my siggy Added on December 19, 2012, 1:24 pmbtw, i'm doing a full review of Local Y400 review. where should i put the thread at a? I can just plug it in, then copy the whole C drive over, set it as boot drive and it'll work right? Then wipe the original C drive and use as storage. I did that for my desktop when migrating to SSD, but dunno will work in laptop or not, but I already call my bro backup everything, so fail should be no prob This post has been edited by FauxHawk: Dec 20 2012, 12:49 AM |

Hmmm... since the SLI is using the ODD slot... i was thinking of using mSATA since il need huge space to install games n etc.
240GB 2.5" SSD seems nice, but way too expensive. So i thought of using mSATA instead and leave the 500GB as game storage. Anyone have tried using mSATA port? any idea of the Win8 score for it. |

So i thought of using mSATA instead and leave the 500GB as game storage. Anyone have tried using mSATA port? any idea of the Win8 score for it. well, mSATA performance should be a bit slower compared to SSD. not sure bout mSATA port in y500, but for y580 only SATA II... |
