    Couple of questions on how I should configure a 15" VPCSE290X CTO to upgrade the hard disk myself.

    I just want to get the standard 500GB HDD, then install my own SSD as the primary, and use the 500GB as a storage drive.

    Can this be done or will I have to order it with RAID?

    Are the cables and caddy already there if I just order a single drive configuration?

    And lastly, are they using SATA 3?

    Thanks
