Re: Does the R7-572-6805 have an mSATA slot?

I went ahead and ordered a -6805 unit and will post what I find here on receiving the item. Worst case, if it lacks the mSATA slot I'll take advantage of the 14-day return policy and order a different model.

Sounds like a plan! I somehow thought you already had the machine. Sorry about that. Good luck.

Good news- the R7-572-6805 that I ordered DOES have the mSATA slot. No surprises, happily! Thanks again to everyone who tried to help out!

Agreed! I'm ordering a 512GB mSATA SSD this weekend (Samsung 840). I'll update with the outcome.

I have that same model and this is what it looks like inside that model. 

mSATA and WLAN

The Samsung 840 Evo 512GB mSATA SSD worked fine. I just produced a recovery disk to a 32GB USB stick using the Acer utility, removed the 1TB SATA, plugged in the mSATA, and did a factory restore to the SSD. I then formatted and the 1TB disk using an external USB caddy and reinstalled it.

Yes- exactly. Now that I've ordered a 1TB SSD 2.5" SSD and 16GB of RAM I should be able to stick a fork in it and call it done!

Was that 1TB from the Newegg deal? i was debating on getting it, but i just might wait until Black Friday for the deals. Seems almost every other day both Newegg and Amazon are havnig SSD sales to compete against each other. The prices keep getting lower. Its either the 500Gb or the 1TB that I have my eye on.
