Installing a micro SSD on Y580
I just bought a Lenovo Y580 and from what I have heard the hard drive stinks. My plan is to get a MSSD and install the OS on it and keep the 750GB drive for data etc. Any ideas what drive i should get and how I go about installing?
T-60 7200, 2GB Ram, Atheros "N" card, 8744-5BU, T-42
Re: Installing a micro SSD on Y580
All hard drives stink. I don't think there is anything worse about the performance of the stock Y580 drive than any other hard drive.
For mSATA SSDs, I like the Mushkin Atlas series.
