Hi guys,

The MSI GT70 2PE 1461US Dominator Pro comes with only a 1T HDD, which is why I would like to buy a mSATA and mount and install OS on it myself. Is it possible? I saw in some models that when you remove the back cover, there are 3 slots to mount mSATAs on and on other models, there were none.
I would like to confirm if a mSATA is mountable before I make my final decision on buying the laptop or not.

Thanks!

The regular GT70 2PE Dominator Pro comes with three mSATA drives standard, but I haven't found anything to indicate that the 1461US has an option to mount mSATA drives in addition to the HDD. If you're willing to give up your HDD, you can get an mSATA caddy that plugs into your HDD drive bay and mount one or two mSATA SSDs, or an MSI Super Raid 2 caddy which will mount three mSATA SSDs. You'll want to check on availability of the caddy options before you order though.
