I hope that I can add in another SSD as boot drive for my AW14 without removing the optical drive >.< but I couldn't understand the part in the owner's manual which only mentions about removal and replacement of secondary HDD. So does it means in order to add in a second drive I have to remove optical drive ? Or the slot itself is in the optical drive bay ? confused T.T

I'd be grateful for anyone who can shed further light in this ><

p/s: 64gb msata is enough for caching 750gb hdd ? O_O
*
according to one of the launch videos, it is stated that the AW14 is able to take in 4 HDDs. 2 SATA + 2 mSATA. So I guess it is possible to add SSD in the mSATA slot. But to be sure, I'll wait until my machine arrives so i can check. That's why i am still hesitant whether to buy an mSATA SSD or just wait first.

The AW 14 is 2 SATA + 1 mSATA. You need to remove the Optical Drive for the 2nd HDD.

As copied from the manual,
NOTE:  The secondary hard-drive or solid-state drive is optional and can be installed
in the optical drive bay.

only 1 mSATA?
really??!!
there goes my plan of using 2 mSATAs....
