    Does anyone that has a Y580 know if there is an open mSATA slot?

    If so would I be able to install an mSATA SSD, wipe the HDD, install windows on the SSD and use the HDD for general data storage? I was just going to install a regular 2.5" SSD to increase the overall speed of the laptop but if I can have both with the mSATA I wouldn't have to worry about carrying around and external hard drive for media storage.
