Does the 501 support the addition of extra SSD as the 512Gb would not be big enough for me. I had a similar problem last time and I don't want to make the same mistake.

G501 is now on sale. It was released a week ago in Singapore. I played with it earlier. Can anyone comment on whether it does indeed have PCIx4 as when the ASUS rep opened it up only 2 were visible, are the other 2 located under the keyboard?! retailing for 2698 SGD exVAT in ASUS or 2599 SGD exVAT in some competitor stores in the Funan digital Mall in SG. It got really hot ona Firestrike Extreme test on the top right corner after 15 mins. All vents are at the back under the screen where it folds.

x4 denotes the number of PCIe lanes the drive uses. There's one SM951 drive in the laptop.
