Question: Does this laptop have the mSATA 16GB SSD for cache or only the 1TB HDD?
Document: I'm running an older samsung 830 512GB SSD and it brought this computer to life! With the original HDD it took over a minute to reach login, with the samsung I'm prompted for a password within 10sec of pushing the power button.If you are looking for a solid reasonably priced machine then look no further. This will play any game out as of today on high settings or better. It runs adobe premiere pro like it was a game of pong. Video conversion is powerful.
UPDATE 5/31/13: I took a chance a few weeks ago when Lenovo had their best sale yet on the Y500, and I may have finally gotten a good one. Not sure if ordering directly from Lenovo made any difference but this one arrived undamaged and appeared 100% new with none of the issues I previously experienced. I should note that I bought the newer iteration with the 750m, dvd drive, and 16gb msata cache for $809.
The Y500 is, by far, the worst computer I've ever owned.First of all, the keyboard and trackpad DO NOT WORK. I get duplicated keypresses all the time and the trackpad was so glitchy I had to ditch it for a mouse. And why did they decide to put the Caps Lock light on the front of the computer, rather than on the top? What an awful design choice...Secondly, the SSD in this laptop WILL burn out.
!-Powerful in all sense(Video card, Ram, Processor, HDD Capacity)-Modern and discrete(outside XD) Design.-Well configured Software-Just a Few Bloatware-Finaly useful Lenovo SoftwareCons:-Fingerprints easily on case (who cares!! )-So precious and perfect that hurts!! !Don't hesitate BUY IT!! !
That being said none broke and it went back together and was as sturdy as from the factory.=Installing Windows 8 on the new SSD was pretty trivial since I own a DVD copy of it. The BIOS has the Windows key so it just got it and said it was good to go.Amazon transactionSometimes you buy something from Amazon and they put it in the biggest box that can logically fit it.
There's a lot of guides/user feedback regarding this process, and I'm going to follow this one:[...]using this SSD:http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0085J17KA/ref=pe_175190_21431760_M3T1_ST1_dp_1I'll definitely update this post if anything goes wrong or I'm unable to complete it, otherwise I likely won't edit this review.
We were given a budget to buy our own work machines and we picked this one and opted for the dual graphics cards. I use a lot of graphics software and also wanted something that wouldn't crap itself during a massive database query.I put an SSD in this thing as soon as I got it and it would not recognize the backup it had created so opted to purchase a Windows 8 Pro disk to restore it (it comes with home edition).
(Side note: if you do plan on swapping hard drives, make sure you do some research on re-installing Windows 8. It is such a nightmare that I ended up installing Windows 7 on my new SSD and paid to upgrade to Win8)PROS:Good performanceGood screenGood speakersQUIET!Fairly light and thin considering what is inside.CONS:Hard drive is a mess from the factory. If you aren't an OCD individual like myself it may not even bother you.That is it.
Overall is an insane machine for the price. It started BSOD during certain games and had to play around with the drivers to get certain games to work. Make sure you download 310.90 driver from Nvidia which is the only one so far that actually works without crashes in SLI mode. The HDD is super slow as well but what can you expect when they are giving you SLI graphics with an i7.The touchpad feels very wired and flimsy which I don't like. Everything else is solid.
This laptop has been serving its purpose well. Thank you Certicel for being so responsive and offering such a great piece of equipment.Eric
Answer: That depends on the model you get.  Some model editions have the hybrid with the SSD cache.  For the models with the SSD, it is a hybrid and not two separate drives.
