    Hi I am considering buying this laptop because of its performance and specifications. So I am kind of confused because I've seen videos and forums stating that this can hold 2 notebook drives and 2 mSATA SSDs. I can see the first mSATA right by the CPU fan but I cannot locate the other mSATA. I understand that there are 2 RAM slots located under the keyboard as well as the Wi-Fi card. I have seen it with my own eyes but yet I cannot locate that lasts and mSATA SSD. Please help me. Thank you and have a blessed day.

    It's sneaky and hides under the main HDD bay.

    OK is it under the plastic flap that is underneath the hard drive? It looks like there's a piece of metal that covers it maybe.

    Yes a plate stops shorting between the msata and hdd. The user manual has al the pictures you'll need (it's great for this sort of thing).

    Thank you for helping me. Also can I use one of them for the GDC Beast External Graphics dock? Isn't the msata basically a MPCI-E?
