    Mines 15", IPS, i7 2820, 2000M, minicard ssd, 4gb ram, no fingerprint reader. Wish i knew optimus didnt work with IPS beforehand, but I probably would have gotten it anyways.

    Guys I'm a hardware noob and I'm prolly asking a silly question :)

    So I took the 128gb SATA III in the "HARD DRIVE" section and the 500gb 7200rpm hard in the "SECOND HARD DRIVE" section. As for the "RAID CONFIGURATION" I took the default Non-RAID. Anyway my question is Dell gonna put the OS on my SSD or HDD? I hope they will put it on the SSD also one of the main reasons why I selected it first...

    Yes the OS will be installed on the SSD as that is what you noted as the primary storage drive.

    Hi everyone,

    Can anyone (e.g. Havoctex) please comment on SATA III default performance for m4600?

    I would like to place an order but the SSDs offered by Dell do not seem to be close to what OCZ Vertex 3 offers today.

    My conerns are with RAID because it does not have native support for TRIM.
    I have the third SSD since 2008 and I'd prefer to stick to a very fast single SATA III drive that supports TRIM natively (the reason I now use Intel G2 and want to switch).

    I hope that ordering a regular HDD and replacing it with a SATA III compatible SSD is supported by the default controllers that come with the machine.

    Thank you.

    Swapping out the HDD with an SSD is supported on both systems.

    I've got a technical question to that point.
    Is the SATA III controler part of the intel chipset or do you use a seperate third-party-controler? If this is the case, can you tell me the name of this controler?

    Can someone with a M4600 or a M6600 please perform and post a SSD benchmark (e.g. ATTO Disk Benchmark) with a third-party-SSD for example the OCZ Vertex 3, which was mentioned above?

    The SATA III controller is the Intel chipset.

    ah, thanks. So I guess, benchmark results will be the same as the results of an other laptop, but with the same chipset, cpu and ssd, right?

    Thank you for the clarifications.
    I am now more confident that I won't have compatibility issues in the future.
