Does this laptop have the mSATA 16GB SSD for cache or only the 1TB HDD?

It only has the 1TB HDD. I don't know how much faster it would be with the 16GB SSD cache but it is very fast without it.

That depends on the model you get. Some model editions have the hybrid with the SSD cache. For the models with the SSD, it is a hybrid and not two separate drives.

This model does not come with msata ssd, but stay out of the inside of the machine in advance msata position. When I received the machine, I also bought 128g of msata loaded, it's running well.

750GB. There is a similar model that has a 1TB drive, but no SSD. Somebody cut & paste the wrong stuff into the description.

No, you can't insert micro SSD in this laptop because it has only two sata slots for two HDDs or SSDs (or both). No msata slots, but dominator pro version has msata slots

It has both, the ssd is a cache drive which makes it boot and respond much quicker.

I bought mine a few months ago and it came with a 1TB but there are different versions (different GPU, processor etc.).

I installed a Samsung 840 1TB SATA and an Atlas 480GB MSATA in mine, myself, giving me 1.5TB of 6GB/sec SSD speed. Yes the laptop is still covered under the warranty, just not the drive(s). FYI its LIGHTNING fast, and VERY easy to install the drives, just remove the bottom (6 torx screws) and 4 screws for the SATA and 1 screw for the MSATA

There are no mSATA slots and two hard drive bays one of which is empty. The 889 comes with 3 mSATA slots and one hard drive bay.

No it's not. It does not have an mSATA slot. You should buy a regular SSD for replacement of the mechanical SATA drive.

Hi, The laptop comes with a 128GB SSD or higher. I purchased the 128GB SD X1 Carbon model and purchased an extra 128GB SD Card which you can plug into the laptop slot for additional storage since SD cards are super fast and serves as great purpose for additional storage. You cannot upgrade the built-in SSD drive from the laptop.

Yes, it does. It's a hybrid SSD/HDD with the 8GB used as a cache drive to quickly access your pagefile and other regularly used programs. Not near as fast as a true SSD, but it will speed up boot times and load times for programs you use often.

Hi there and thanks for your interest in this listing. The ad gives just the basic configuration that the laptop came with, most sellers will either upgrade the hard drive or leave it as is depending on the stock at hand. If the hard drive is upgraded, the upgrade is mentioned in the tech specs/condition. Different sellers will have differing tech specifications on their ad depending on the model and configuration they have. I hope that answers your question.

No. Standard 5400 drive. I added an Msata and took out the mechanical drive and added a Samsung EVO 840 SSD drive (7.5mm) and this machine screams. This unit has no Msata installed as is, but the case is easily opened and adding an Msata to the empty slot is no big deal.

Yes, it is a msata SSD and can be upgraded. You can Google it or go to YouTube and there are videos in how to do it.

YES, it does have a 32GB mSATA SSD drive! Those individuals stating that it doesn't in their reviews are wrong! They're looking at "Devices and Drives" or "Disk Management" and not SEEING the SSD because it is HIDDEN by the Intel Rapid Storage Technology (IRST) program (probably as a protective measure)!!! The 32GB drive has 2 partitions: the hibernation partition (used by Intel Rapid Start) and a cache partition (the largest, used by Intel Rapid Storage Technology) which greatly speeds up the 5200 rpm HDD. I'm sure if they'll just go into "Device Manager" and select "Disk Drives" it'll show up and they can come back and correct their reviews. YES, it does have a 32GB mSATA SSD drive!

Yes, the mSATA SSD is SATA III. Regarding the brand, it could be A-DATA or other 1st tier brand.In MSI website they doesn't release such information.
