    Hi

    I'm thinking about buying this Acer M5-481t on ebay. I want to fit a mSATA SSD to this laptop and have the 2.5 inch hard drive as my secondary drive. However, upon reading I have found out that there are some BIOS revision that do not support booting from a mSATA. I just want to know what BIOS revision should I be running in order to boot from a MSATA hard drive and have my 2.5 inch as my secondary drive. Alternatively, is there any other way that I can have my mSATA hard drive as my boot drive and have my 2.5 drive as my secondary drive (Step by step instruction would be greatly appreciated)
