    Hey everybody,

    We'll be working on 8570p in a few weeks at work.
    The chosen model has a 500GB HDD, which sucks... I looked everywhere on the Internet but couldn't find a trustworthy source: is it possible to add a mSATA SSD to the machine so it speeds up?

    I have another more general question: imagine I add a SSD to the PC to store OS + Softs, is it still a nice option to add a mSATA drive to the HDD to speed up the latter?

    Thanks in advance,
    Mickaël

    As far as I'm aware and after reading a few maintenance manuals the only models to feature the option are the 8470w, 8570w and 8770w models.

    For a test I slotted in an mSata into my 8470p and... it did nothing. Sorry
