Hi Prince J,

The Q7 only support 1 SATA and 1 m2.SATA drives.

Can the S7 support 2 x 1TB SATA (not m2.SATA) and built-in Blu-ray/DVD Writer drive or 1 x 1TB SATA Drive (not m2.SATA) and built-in Blu-ray/DVD writer drives?



Thanks.

S7 can support 2x 500GB or 1x 1TB HDD.

S7 cannot have built-in blu-ray drive.

Which other model support internal blu-ray drive?

Internal optical drive is kinda rare nowadays.

17" only Q7 and RX-17 EVO has it.

Suggest you to get external BD.

I worried about slow transfer rate with external blu-ray drive especially when burning movies.

If external drive, which make/model would you recommend?

Hi nitehawk,

You can choose the BD writer that can compatible with USB 3.0.

We suggest ASUS External Blu-ray Writer SBW-06D2X-U

that body!

After reading all over in this thread, seem like I should have order a Z5 Skylake GTX970M instead of GTX960M. But the price. T___T

I find it worth add-on extra RM 999 for the GTX 970M if you want much better gaming performance.

Oh Yeah!!

If and only if I can fork out that RM999. Illegear did do Z5 Haswell with 970 price at RM4999 now versus Skylake 960 price at RM4599. I guess 960M should be quite overkill for online games. (seldom play offline game plus might just need a bit or so of CAD and Solidworks)

GTX970m performance is almost double of GTX 960m. DOTA 2 reborn requirement is getting higher. So... you should really think again. If GTX 965m I think is still can handle most of the game quite sometime. But 960m I dont think so.

Which you mean that Haswell with GTX970M is better than Skylake with GTX960M for long run?

Yes, definitely, exactly and obviously.
Performance wise, Skylake over Haswell is neglect-able. Skylake is good in efficiency and power saving only. Skylake bring a long of advantages on ultrabook and tablet for more battery life.

When comes to gaming notebook, they are they same. You won't benefit from Skylake compare with Hawell. And you will never want to game on battery.

I see. Thanks for your reply. But to remove Z5 battery need open up back cover to do so. Long period of gaming advisable to remove the battery?

Ah... another....

Don't ever try to removed battery or unplug while full in Today's Lithium battery.

The only way to protect Lithium battery is to let it fully charged all the time and don't ever use until it empty.
