    Hi I just recently purchased a 7745g from tigerdirect and noticed that the HDD SATA port points straight up (points outside the case). I bought an ssd to go along with it but now am confused as to how it will plug in or else the ssd will be outside the laptop?

    Any ideas?

    Figured it out, turns out there are 2 HDD slots on this laptop, the other angles up and the other is normal so I was able to install it easily.
