    Hello, I have a Sony Vaio SVT13125CXS and I want to upgrade from hdd to ssd.

    I have 500GB + 32GB MLC Hybrid4 but I saw on motherboard that I have a m-sata port. I think that 32GB is in that port.
    I don't know how MLC works.
    Can I remove the hdd from m-sata to put a m-sata ssd (samsung evo 860 250gb) and keep the 500GB HDD?


    Thanks

    It should work fine. I believe that model is setup in Raid, so you might have to fiddle with that in the BIOS.
