This model comes with factory installed 250 gb mSATA ssd. I recently had a huge problem that I thought was the product of the mSATA going bad, so went to replace it with a 1TB Samsung Evo mSATA. In the process, I found it was actually a bad fan (so much for the 0 degree operation factor :lol) so I replaced that and the Evo. I also discovered there was an empty 2.5 bay, but no connection points (I'm guessing it's the place they put the 2.5 this series normally comes with, but do not provide any connection method bc of the mSATA upgrade).
Now, I have a spare 1TB 2.5 SATA that I pulled from a Seagate external awhile ago (works great in caddy). Is there any way to install the 2.5 drive? Can it be done? 3 main questions are 1. will this motherboard support dual input stress, 2. is there any way to split the single mSATA port into 2 and 3. will the power port be sufficient if I end up splitting it to support both? I know heating will also be a consideration.
The thing is, the pc is a 2-in-1, and I need the speed, tablet and portability, but MUST have the additional TB of storage. Before upgrading to the Evo, I used a 4TB Seagate via a USB 3 port that I had pulled from a previous NAS external. It pretty much made it a basic laptop because it so limited it's portability. The information that is stored in the additional space is partially integrated as default download paths and vital.
Am I just wildly insane to think this would be an even remote possibility?
