[Vitorio]

I have a question,if anyone can answer - would be just amazing.My laptops motherboard supports mSATA SSD DRIVE and I also wanna to upgrade to a regular SSD DRIVE,my question is : if i will use both the mSata SSD for let`s say 500GB and will put another 500GB regulad SSD would it be in the windows "my computer" showing as I have two drives??

Yes, but you'd need to disable the Intel SRT first, in the BIOS.

You may find it's a better idea to have an mSATA SSD for the OS, programs, and other frequently used stuff, plus a big HDD for data.

Thank you very much.And again lets say i`ve putted mSATA SSD and regular SSD (I will not have a space for reg. HDD).I heard that SDD better and faster than any reg. HDD that`s why i wanna to upgrade on SDD and remove HDD.And just today i`ve find out that i also have a space for mSATA SDD.I just didn`t know if they will actually work normally together as two separate drives-can you answer on that please.

They will work together as separate drives if you disable Intel SRT in the BIOS.

I'd still suggest getting a big mSATA for fast stuff, plus an HDD for media.

You can now get 1TB mSATA drives.

Yes and one more if you don`t mind tell me HP Envy 14 (beats edit.) XQ103AV with Intel Core i7-2820QM 2.30-GHz (turbo up to 3.40-GHz) processor (1600-MHz FSB, 8.0-
MB L3 cache, Quad Core, 45 W) which the highest (best) graphic card i would be able to use (upgrade on)

You won't be able to upgrade the GPU - it's soldered in for 99% of laptops, including yours.

Basically if tomorrow the guy will upgrade my i5 on i7 quad core i will be stuck with my Radeon HD 5650......?!
Cuz I actually have switchable graphics....some intel HD and ATI Radeon 5650 ......still won`t be able to...?

 

[Someone Somewhere]

Nope, the HD5650 is soldered onto your motherboard.
