Update: The battery still (slowly) drains even when using hibernate.

Still no bios updates.

Sucks!

I have a 572, and want to install a msata ssd for startup and application speed.  Can you give details on one you installed, and how you installed the software for it to load.  Additionally, since I will have it open,  I am thinking of replacing the wifi card which works fine, with an AC card.  Any thoughts?

Saw this on YouTube, great job.  Any chance you could do one on how you set up the msata drive, showing software cloning or whatever steps you took to get it recognized and as the start drive?
