If I dont want the mini-PCIe wifi card, can I replace that with an mSATA SSD?

No, mini-PCI and mSata aren't interchangeable. If you want an mSata slot on board, Asrock makes a mini itx z87 board with mSata on it, albeit for more than this board.

I dont think so, its not an msata interface, its a mini pcie instead. You can find more info on manufacturer's site.

Hi Kevin, I'm sorry but I don't know :) My advice / comments were based only on the c500sa, if the current card in your system is not embedded into the motherboard, then I believe it should work. Best thing to do is to crack the laptop open and check it out....maybe this link will help you http://www.jdhodges.com/blog/asus-q200e-ssd-upgrade-swap-hdd/ same procedure to change the drive, you can see the wifi NIC above and right of the harddrive. Please do this at your own risk....

You dont generally, the 80GB mSATA solid state drive is used by the OS for caching purposes. Or it could be configured to have the OS only installed on it not sure though. Can Seller clarify?

YES, if the system has a free mSata port (like shown in the 6th picture), you could add an mSata Solid State HD and have (2) drives internally. The mSata port is commonly used for the internal wireless/bluetooth card, but in this photo the card is missing, making room for a msata Solid State HD. One could add a 3rd internal HD, as specified in the User Guide, using a combination of the VESA mounting bracket(http://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-System-Mounting-Bracket-0B47374/dp/B009ZN8U14), the optical drive box (http://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Thinkcentre-Tiny-Storage-0b47375/dp/B009XAHDOE), and the replacement HD enclosure (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0151K9J9Q).

you can't use a mSata SSD because there is no slot available. You can replace the stock Seagate SSHD 1TB + 8GB (HDD and SSD on the same 2.5" drive) by another 2.5" drive or you can add a caddy for a second 2.5" drive but it will replace the graphics card in the ultrabay. sorry for my english i'm from France i hope there are no mistakes !

I'm using an Intel mSATA SSD - 40GB and 2x4GB Crucial 1600MHz SODIMM's. Most of the available mSATA models should just work, but the memory should be according to spec requirements.

Depends. You can replace the Hdd, with a ssd, or you can add up to two msata drives and leave the Hdd. I replaced the Hdd with a ssd, and added a msata drive.

Yes, the mSATA SSD is SATA III. Regarding the brand, it could be A-DATA or other 1st tier brand.In MSI website they doesn't release such information.

I haven't tried this myself, but if you have an empty expansion card slot, there are brackets that can be used to house a 2.5 inch SSD drive where a card would otherwise go. Amazon sells one made by Syba and one by StarTech. Also if your motherboard supports M.2, you can get your SSD in that form factor and save yourself a bay.

No &#12290;it not include cd drive! On that place it a graph card! But u can change it urself ! Yes u can replace an ssd or add an Mini msata ssd!

This is mSata. It will plug into a Mini PCI-E slot, but in order to use this in a PCI-E you would need a sata chip on the PCI-E bus. The title is a bit confusing. Here is the description that correctly explains its function. The Samsung mSATA (Mini-Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) SSD is designed for ultraslim notebooks and comes in four sizes of storage capacity - 32GB, 64GB 128GB and 256GB of cash memory.It flash process technology and supports Mini SATA interface.

Absolutely, give it few GB of ram and a proper mSata SSD, you're good to go.

It works with slot designated for mSATA (MO-300) standard SSD ONLY. It will NOT work with Mini PCIe slot designed for WWAN, LAN, WiFi card etc.

Of course you could, but mSatas are SSD and thus a LOT more expensive. You would quickly run out of the 128-256GB of data on a SSD. An external 1TB-3TB HDD would be much more ideal!

The paperwork that came with it reflected up through Windows 8. Pretty easy to install using the minidisk that came with it. Nothing to uninstall if your PC has Wi-Fi already installed, then it would be unnecessary, unless you are looking for more speed.

Unfortunately, only the newest line of thinkpads can handle msata drives. No it will not be compatible with this drive, however you can get a standard ssd drive which will perform much faster than a typical HDD. Something like this should work http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/ssd/ct120m500ssd1

The MSI GS70 has 2 mSATA SSD slots and a standard 2.5 inch drive slot. You can upgrade the mSATA SSDs to larger capacity ones and also set them up in RAID for increased performance. You can also install a standard size SSD in the 2.5 inch bay as well.
