Hello, could anyone tell if it's possible to add SSD disk to this notebook not replacing the old one, but having both of them? I know that this notebook have msata connection, but is there additional space there for msata drive? Thank you all for answers, I couldn't find anywhere any answers to that.

I'm getting ready to attempt this myself. I'll let you know if it's possible as I don't have the Notebook with me right now.

Yes. I added a Samsung evo mSATA in the slot and use the original HDD for data. Everything works flawless.

I have V5 572P 6454: can you give some more specific steps to how you successfully completed the ssd drive addition?
Any bios setting changes or did you have to copy any files to the ssd drive?

Two things you need to pay attention to:

1. Opening the cover: there are clips holding it. You probably know those things. Widely used ... Be careful. I broke 4 of them.

2. Getting a screw to secure the card. It's a screw with the same width as the ones holding the cover, but shorter. I got one from a computer repair shop.

I took out the HDD that is present. It is not screwed down, you only need to unplug. Then after plugging in the SSD, you have 2 choices:

Install Windows clean (You'll have a licence for the Windows version your notebook came with, in any language. No need to type in a serial. It will get it from the machine), or

Use a recovery you made beforehand. This will recreate the factory install.

I put back the wiped clean Seagate as data dump. If you like, you can also change startup order in BIOS, but when the original HD is only used for data, it's not neccessary.

I have no issue whatsoever!  (Like the ones I read in this forum of startup problems where drives are not recognised)
