    Maybe u can use a second hdd-caddy. It has the formfaktor of a cd/dvd-caddy. Only difficulty is, I had to use the caddy cable adapter from a Toughbook SATA-DVD-drive to get connection with my CF-52. Don't know if the problem still exists in a CF-54.

    Can the NGFF SSD be selected as the main boot drive so that the drive in the caddy can be used as external storage only?
