QUOTE(aristotletan @ Jun 4 2013, 10:15 AM) Yes. He is right, and I was wrong. According to what Dell Specialist in Chia said, he said that half-sized SSD will work, something like picture below:  But then someone asking to him that "Is there any solution to install SSD without taking HDD?" He replied, "The only solution is since there is no ODD, so can try to use empty ODD space to put a SSD, but maybe problem like cannot detect or not compatible might occur." Source (in Chinese) and scarxxx, do u have any comment on this?  i just plan to bought one unit with HDD and swap it with SSD, but now i confuse already between all these |

You can't see my picture above? So take out HDD put SSD, then HDD as ext HDD  This post has been edited by aristotletan: Jun 4 2013, 05:05 PM |

SSD too costly with limitation of space...... 256GB cost RM600 to 800....... =.='' better get Msata 64GB to install OS, and 500HDD for storage...... js the Msata used by dell is kanasai non-famous half-size.......

Dear Vostro 5460 user:
DON't BUY half-sized mSATA SSD. This is because its BIOS itself doesn't support using MSATA SSD as boot-up, only can be used as cache. If you really want a cache mSATA, u should buy ultrabook version.
