Notes for BTO with SSD
The smallest capacity HDD/SSD is installed in the 1st HDD bay (as system disk) at factory.
When the memory size is 64GB or more, system disk capacity should be at least 300GB. In that case,
BTO with SSD is not possible. If you want to use 200GB SSD as data disk in such a system, order the
200GB SSD separately and install it later.
