All Wifi Cards should work, as long as its mini PCIE and psychically fits in your computer, I do not see why it would not.

Thank you Chad. I originaly have chosen that one because it was on the Lenovo compatible list. I guess the point is moot if the bios is flashed. The ebay seller confirmed that the bios need to be flashed but I will wait until I receive the card. If it works with no flashing, even better.

I have a different take on this. I use win8 as a host and do all my surfing, banking, tests on different VMs. I run Win7 on my VMs but used the speed boost of Win8 on my host. I get the best of both world. I am running win 8.1 preview but didn't notice any improvements compared to win8... the "come" back of the start button is laughable.

For the people with less than 10s boot times, if applicable, how long did you have the OS installed before running your SSD in your Lenovo? I had mine for about 1 year, so I'm wondering if all the extra installed background apps/processes cause the increase. I haven't tried booting on a completely fresh install.

Also curious about timing and making sure we're comparing apples to apples. I timed from the moment I hit the power button. Just making sure that I eliminate unnecessary variables.

Had mine for a week before swapping. I am running windows 8.1 Preview but it's just as fast as Win8.

Truely ingenius! I need this to host my big virtual machine files.

Thanks.

Same here. Running W9 with some huge VMs. I replaced the stock HDD with a Samsung 840 Pro 256. I need a lot of space for my VM. Planning to put the HDD caddy instead of the 750m and recycling the original hdd. Since I am not really gaming for now. Here is the link to the caddy I bought. I will report back once I receive it.

Does anyone know if Lenovo also whitelisted the msata?

Hello

I was wondering if this broadcom BCM943228HMB WIFI Wireless N BT Bluetooth 4.0 Half MINI Card would be compatible with the Y500 once it's flashed?

Thank you
