More and more manufacturers > are moving to the ultrabook model where nothing is user upgradeable (not > even RAM!). OK - bit of research: E7xxx do not have media bays. However, if you don't have the WWAN (3G/4G mobile data) option, apparantly it is possible to mount an mSATA minicard flash in the same slot. In fact according to various forum postings, this is the default if you but a minicard SSD - even to the point where Dell save £2.57 or something by NOT supplying the SATA connector to the main bay! the online configurator will not let me choos 2 disks though so I've put it to our sales rep. Failing that, I might buy with either a 500GB SATA and fit my own 240GB minicard or buy with the cheapest SATA HDD and throw it away in favour of a 480/500GB SSD that might be sufficient...
