Oh My God~~

I have ordered Intense PC Pro barebone, just now.
Is it possible to use mSata SSD in mPCIe by firmware update ?
If not, I want to cancel my order, please.

@dycho why is mSATA such a big deal? You can use an internal 2.5" SATA-3 SSD.

It's a big deal to me because I would like to use a 32-64GB Msata drive to install the OS and use the 2.5" drive bay for a large 750GB-1TB drive for media storage. A 1TB SSD is around $3000, a 1TB HD is around $150. The idea is to not have to have an external HD because space/clutter is an issue for me. I looked into the Seagate hybrid drive but it won't work because it's 9.7MM thick and the Fit PC3/Intense-PC only support 9.5MM drives.

Will a 9.7MM HD fit in the Intense PC? Do you plan on adding msata support in future versions of the Intense PC? Will it require a motherboard revision or can it be done with a BIOS update? I've been following the Fit-PC3 forums and there is suppose to be a new v2.3 motherboard with msata support. I would prefer to purchase the Intense PC over the Fit-PC3.

Thanks,
