    Need some info. I need a laptop asap and was looking at the ASUS Republic of Gamers G74SX-AH71 on Amazon. Its $1,423 plus you get a $50 gift card and I get get it next day for only $3.99.

    It comes with a 750GB HDD. What I want to do it put my 120GB Intel SSD as primary and make the 750 one secondary. Will this work?

    Also any general information would be great. I need to order it asap.

    What you want to do, you can do -- the only hitch may be that you do not get the second hard drive bracket with that model. I don't know offhand, although others may comment.

    Here's a link to the SSD installation for my XC1 --

    If you don't get the 2nd HDD bracket with your notebook, eStore sells them.

    Do they typically not come with this bracket?
