    Could I replace the 32gb msata drive in my xps14 and keep the 500gb spinner?

    You definitely could if you are using the 32 GB as a cache drive you could just partition the 120 GB drive to use up to 64 GB for caching them use the rest as a spare drive. Not sure of your setup. If you want the mssd to run the OS then some more work would be required.

    Or just buy the Crucial M4 mSATA 256GB for about the same price.
