Adding additional msata ssd to Asus Zenbook UX303LA

[kino360]

Needed advice...

I have an Asus Zenbook UX303LA with a 128 ssd, I found that there is a msata for ssd.. My question is can I add a msata ssd (like a Samsung Evo840) for more storage expansion. I don't plan on removing the stock ssd that came with the laptop (2.5-Inch SATA ssd)... Is it possible just to add an msata ssd for storage expansion??? And I'm a total noob.. Step by step guide would be very helpful... Thank you very much.. I hope to hear from you guys!

There seems to only be a half length MSata slot. There are SSD's out there for that size but not as much for the full length.
Here is a guide: http/www.laptopultra.com/guide/asus-ux303la-disassembly/
You could go for an upgrade of the 128 SSD that might be easier/cheaper in the end. Which would be fully explained with a ssd upgrade kit: http/lmgtfy.com/?q=ssd+upgrade+kit
If you go the "normal SSD" route be sure the SSD is 7mm in height because bigger won't fit.

Sorry if this isn't allowed, I'm new to the site but I'm currently in the same situation as you were. Upon doing a bit of research would purchasing this: http/www.amazon.co.uk/Kingspec-Speed-MINI-PICE-MSATA-Laptop/dp/B00N5QVUOG/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1427665323&sr=8-9&keywords=half+size+msata+ssd and then installing it be okay?
