    Hi guys!

    I have a big problem.I bought a Ge60 2QE. Everything is gonna fine but i bought a new mSata SSD so opened a pc cover and haven't any mSata SSD slot on Wi-Fi Card area. Many pictures uploaded this topic but haven't got any mSata SSD slot. This PC use İntel HM86 Motherboard and supported secondary mSata SSD slot and writed 'SSD' in this area! Service point says 'need to be 'white port' under Wi-Fi Card' but any 'White Port' haven't.

    PC already uses 128GB mSata SSD i wanna to install secondary mSata SSD.

    You'll notice the empty solder pads next to the wireless card. Your motherboard does not have the connector for a second mSATA slot soldered on.

    It's not for a new user to be attempting, you need to decide which SSD you would like to use, you only have one slot.

    Sorry the answer was not what you were hoping, one final option would be to sacrifice the optical drive, get an optical to HDD converter and use a 2.5" to mSATA PCB to then plug it in via that way.
