Hi,
Shopping for a gaming laptop and with Sager they include a mSATA SSD of 120Gb.
I can remove it and get back 75$. So I was just planning to remove that 120gb and use the money back to buy a backpack for my 17" Laptop.
I looked so many people talk about they want a SATA ssd of 500Gb or upgrade this one already.
Except for the space on your laptop, is having a mSATA change anything ???
Because I never use more than 500Gb on my laptop. Right now I got 750Gb and the one I want to buy give me 1 TB.
Plus I already got an external Hard Drive of 1 TB.

Tsunade_Hime such bacon. wow
The mSATA SSD will load your operating system significantly faster than a mechanical hard drive, as well as make the OS alot more responsive (opening/closing programs, copying files). You need to weigh whether or not you need an SSD, seems like you are unsure.

Got, at the moment, gaming laptop since 5 years. I don't have any of that stuff with this laptop and running great.
Having that kind of stuff will enhance my gaming or laptop experience ?
And is the boost of performance for my OS will be able to be seen with my eyes or this is only another Tech specialty from Computerizing ?? -

So the 120gb they give should be enough ? -
120GB should be enough for the operating system and some software, however you should install games on a different (higher capacity) drive. I second that once you switch from a traditional, platter based HDD to an SSD, you will never want to go back. Once you experience the difference first hand, you will not believe that an operating system can be THAT responsive.
I have one basic system with a Celeron 2955U processor (1.4GHz dual core, no Hyper-Threading, no TurboBoost) and with a normal HDD this system is almost painful to use. With an SSD however, it is very responsive and comfortable to work with.

Get a 240GB or 256GB mSATA drive. Performance will be better overall, and you can load a couple games on it that are load time sensitive (like BF4) or persistent worlds with dynamic level loading (like WoW). Be warned, once you go with SSD you will never want an HDD again!

I was advised to install the OS on the 750gb and then with intel rapid storage to create a space of 64gb with the mSATA. now the pc is disassembled because I have to insert the new ram. What do you advise me to do because for me now that I have a RAID0 of 149GB that will not let me use the rest of the capacity of hd (750gb), I remove the mSATA I format the 750 I install the OS and then resubmit the form mSATA, what would happen? thanks in advance
mSATA SSD necessary ?
