I was wondering if anyone had experience installing a mSATA drive in the ASUS G55VW-RS71 laptop, or if anyone knew how hard or easy it would be. Thanks

ASUS laptops are generally pretty easy to upgrade yourself. Should be a service manual online on ASUS' website for specific instructions on how to access the slots.

So you wouldn't see that being a problem? What about trying to move all the data off the hard drive and onto the mSATA drive?

I have found out that getting to the mSATA slot on the ASUS G55VW-RS71 voids warranty and is quite difficult to get to. Dang
