    Hi all,

    I'm trying to find information about the mSATA on the y470p but I'm having a hard time searching (maybe I'm just using the wrong terms). Anyway, I was hoping if someone would know whether the "Crucial M4 CT256M4SSD3" mSATA drive is compatible with the y470p?

    Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

    (On a related note, the y470p should also accept 1tb 2.5" drives (9.5" height) right?)

    If it has a mSATA port, it should work. That same mSATA drive certainly works on my Y580.

    In the Y580, does the Crucial drive run at SATAII or SATAIII?
