A couple of quick questions please 1) Will i7 4770K from Intel work with this? and 2) does it support SSD and the new type of SSD+HD combo drives

The 4790k and 4770k work very well in this motherboard (I have a build with each, although I have not overclocked either rig). SSD's are fully supported as are the Hybrid (SSD+HD) drives. There is really nothing special about how SSD's and Hybrid drives are handled by the motherboard. As long as SATA channels are available, those drives will work except in rare circumstances.

I put an i7 4790k and a Samsung 850 Evo 120gb SSD in this and they work fine. (4770 and 4790 are same chipset). I can't speak for the hybrid drives but I would assume they will work as well.

Yes. The i7 will work great, and the SSD and HDD connect through SATA, which this mobo has an abundance. For future questions about compatibility, always use pcpartpicker.com

Greetings, You will need to install system memory (DDR3 1333MHz+ SODIMM), an mSATA SSD and software in order to complete the unit. Best regards, MITXPC

The Intel SSD HD can replace any 3.5 or 2.5 SATA drive (there is an adapter to fix in space for the HD 3.5 inch). I prefer to reinstall the software on the new HD. My desktop was very fast.

Yes..I checked the MSI website for this board/cpu combination you mentioned and YES, supported.

Yes it does support all of features. I'm using ssd cache right now. Works great. Just make sure you update to the latest BIOS update.

I was unable to locate any specifications for the system you identified.Make sure motherboard has Sata 3Gps or 6Gps (faster)If you are adding the SSD make sure you have an extra SATA port, cable and a place to mount SSD.** If the drive is configured properly on a 6Gps port, there will be a very notable performance boost over any HDD, this SSD will outperform any 10,000 rpm drive.

Yes, i have i5 4670k and ssd samsung 840 evo is working really good full speed

Not an official SAMSUNG product, someone has switched out a few items and onboarded an overclocking CPU and the SSD hard disk to make it viable.Question is what about power consmption / heat ?

You can upgrade the Ram and SSD without voiding the warranty. I have talked directly to technical support at MSI, but only those 2 things can be upgraded.

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.

anything you can load on a standard Intel based pc will load on this one. But you will have to find your specific drivers, not sure if Intel provides them.

No Intel fanboy, It only takes AM3+ AMD processors. But Asus does offer Intel compatible options if that's what you want.

Hi,I'm using this with 1 ssd and AMD E-350 (Zacate) based motherboard ASUS E35M1-M for HTPC use. Works without problems.Another ssd should not be a problem. Recomended.

Yes it support Solid State Drives (SSD), the 120GB Kingston SSDNow V300 and Crucial M5 have the best prices right now (around $0.66 per GB)

It should be, although I seem to remember it as formatted NTFS to start with. If your build supports standard SATA interface, you should not have any problems. It has been a very reliable drive for my Windows system. The only caveat is that an SSD does require periodic "garbage collection" by the operating system. You might want to check if your intended OS will support this. This would apply to any SSD that you may be considering.

No idea but Google around. I see lots of comments about SSD and RAID setups on the net. Good luck!

I don't. But if you are serious, you probably want to upgrade to 16GB of RAM and replace the hard drive with SSD. Also find a way to cool down this laptop (with a serious cooling pad, not toy cooling pad), so this super powerful i7 CPU can overclock itself automatically to its full potential. (otherwise it will throttle itself preventing overheat, if you reach around 87 degree C)I can confirm 16 GB of RAM and SSD will work for this laptop. I am not sure 32 GB of RAM though. Will try next year when the RAM cost goes down. :DGood luck shopping.
