I installed an SSD in my X220 in addition to the existing HD. I have no
problems whatsoever. The SSD is listed as /dev/sdb and the HD as /dev/sda.
I can't remember which the bootloader is installed on. I boot using BIOS
because I couldn't be bothered to try EFI. If I ever get around to doing a
clean install of Ubuntu 16.04 I might try EFI.
I run Ubuntu 14.04 and there are no gotchas. Everything works fine.
The SSD is most probably an mSATA SSD installed in the 3G card's place a
couple of millimeters under the fingerprint scanner.
A few questions that might help orient your research...
- The system sees two HDs, does the BIOS/EFI know which one to boot from=
?
- Are you keeping the existing Windows installation or are you replacing
it?
- Could there be a stub of the old bootloader still in place on the
other drive? That would make it try to boot the old system, which might =
be
a problem.

Hi all,<br>
<br>
I'm trying to install an Arch Linux on my "new" X220. So far =
I did not<br>

work. My first try was an EFI, the second I tried to get grub running,<br>

<br>
=E2=80=A2 Does anybody have managed to install Arch on the X220 and are the=
re<br>
some special things to consider?<br>
=E2=80=A2 Should I try to get EFI running or is BIOS fine/better?<br>
=E2=80=A2 For both cases: Does an SSD cause troubles? The machine has separ=
ate<br>
HDD and SSD, so far I only tried the SSD.<br>
=E2=80=A2 Regarding the latter one: I'm just curious, where the SSD is,=
but did<br>
not find it upon a (not too far-going) disassembly. It's not a hybrid<b=

drive, since I took out the HDD and it still booted (when windows was<br>
still on it).<br>
<br>
Really appreciate any hints here,<br>
