Question about mSATA on the new Toshiba Qosmio X70

Hi guys,

I know this is a new laptop but I was hoping someone might know Integrated Intel® Turbo Memory, mSATA and SSD tech better than I and can maybe explain it better as I called Toshiba support and even they couldn't explain it and their forums were useless lol.

I just purchased the X70 and during configuration, you have the option of actually having 2 hard drives and a 256GB mSATA SSD drive. I only choosed 1 drive figuring I will upgrade later when money is better.
Toshiba says they do not sell the mSATA drive direct and it must be configured during purchase. Does anyone know if you can buy an after market mSATA SSD and intall it after so essentially you will have 2 hard drives and an SSD? I called Toshiba support and they were nice but clueless and there is no manual released yet for this model. Also on the Toshiba forums they mentioned that since I didn't ask for it, it might not have a mSATA slot? That does not seem right to me but it is making me reluctant to buy an mSATA drive to have it here so I can build it when it comes. I was hoping someone might know about these new Toshibas better than me and also it seems Toshiba themselves


Any help would be super appreciated!
