You are definitely wrong... btw msata is connector, not HDD/SSD, you can't upgrade msata.

I think its your ram. Try to get a better know brand

how much space does the Win8 takes up on msata anyways? i was thinking of getting msata today plextor or crucial

The words is upgrading my Y500 not upgrading my msata. So funny le u.

Is that another msata slot on top of the WiFi card?? o.o
Sorry for asking something stupid :/

because the layout looks different than other Y500 dissembled pictures.

You meant this one (highlighted in blue)..?

I opened my Y500 before and I don't see any connectors there apart from the WiFi card beside it... or maybe we can splice the mSATA connectors and add in a second one.

U shud try make 1 man Hoho..

I sked void warranty.

Another msata port is just beside the ULTRABAY port.

That one I think is for the HDD Ultrabay/ODD Ultrabay?

Probably for hdd ultrabay. I havent seen the hdd ultrabay yet.

Hi sifus i just bought y400 yesterday.. Whenever i play video/music that activates the speaker, a sharp pop sound can be heard and it sounds normal afterwards.. If i stop the video/sound for a few mins and replay it, the sharp pop sound can be heard again.. Is there any problem with the speaker hardware?

That's why I said you're wrong in the 1st place. that's ultrabay slot, not msata slot. There's only 1 msata slot. The one next to WIFI slot would highly be the mobile module for 3G/LTE card but not supported in SEA.

I'm not wrong for this jotaro12. U shud see for urself the port beside ultrabay port. Try to take out the GN36 and u can see the port there. Another msata port is actually beside the ULTRABAY port so if u having a modified GN36 or GN37. U can have two msata attached on Y500. Consider the heat from GN36, it's not practical to have the msata attached beside the ultrabay port. Still, wat use le to have two msata on laptop. Such a waste.

I think u misunderstand his word...==
that unsolder part which u say is the mobile module also can be as the mSATA connector if the data signal is flow to SATA host controller instead of PCI-express host controller...lol
Need test for that unsolder port, cannot say directly it's PCI-E mini card interface or the mSATA interface

And also the another mSATA port besides the ultrabay port for the external GPU one is for the HDD or ODD Ultrabay, Malaysia seem din sold these two ultrabay (dun know, need ask)
