mSATA SSD as Win8 Local Drive

Hi!

I was thinking of buying a Intel 525 mSATA SSD 120GB and replace my 32GB mSATA SSD I already have in my laptop. (HP Envy 4-1090eo)

The SSD I now have works as an booster for the HDD (Intel Rapid Storage Tech.), but I'm thinking if it's possible to use the new mSATA as an Local Drive for Win8 OS and the HDD as a storage drive only.

When I installed my SSD on my desktop computer I transferred the OS through Intel Migration Software, is it possible to do the same with the mSATA?

I've already tried google my answer but I couldn't find anything.

Best Regards

Hi Vukmania,

Yes, you can use the Intel® SSD 525 Series as your OS drive and you can use the included migration software to migrate your HDD to the mSATA.
