You're usually better offer doing it yourself. It's not that hard and generally less expensive to do it yourself.

How much extra? In the US I believe they are charging $40 for this option. The mSATA SSD will be used as a cache drive for frequently accessed files on the mechanical disk. Reports I've heard are that this does a very nice job speeding up commonly accessed programs and is a nice in between solution if you don't want to spend the money for an SSD that is large enough to boot the OS, install essential programs on, etc.pavelz wrote:Hi,

Of course it is better than without - but buying a separate mSATA SSD is much more better! This one is a good one: Crucial CT128M4SSD3 128GB.
So better leave the cache-SSD out, buy a normal mSATA SSD, install it to the mSATA slot and manually install Win7...

I already did that with 64GB mSATA and it's awesome. Anyway thanks for reply.
