Has anyone had any luck aquiring a Lenovo branded card for an upgrade? I've got a modded BIOS on my y510p but I was considering purchasing one as a gift, but I don't want to void the warranty on this one...
Thanks

The Synaptics drivers are an improvement. I put a skin on to texture the trackpad, but results are only marginally better.

Currently installed:
Crucial M500 240GB 2.5-inch Internal SSD
Crucial M500 240GB SATA 6Gbps 2.5" Internal SSD • 500 MBps Read / 250 MBps Write
I dropped the laptop (twice) and no disruptions. Read/Write speeds are as expected. Waiting to get my hands on an NGFF though...

Quick question re the BIOS mods and the SLI on the 510p (running win 8.1): Just making sure I understand the recent posts on this thread: If I mod both the BIOS and the ultrabay card, I should still be able to install the latest GPU drivers, provided they are from Nvidia directly and not Lenovo?
Thanks

The HDD is definately the bottleneck. Swap it out for an SSD and put the HDD in an external case and use it for data. If you get a case that supports USB 3.0 then you shouldn't be concerned with read/write speeeds for everyday use. 5400 RPM is perfect for data as well as audio/video.
Other option: Buy an M.2 SSD and pop it in the slot; boot off that and leave the 5400 RPM HDD in for data.
