"Is there a way to do this with external USB 3.0 SSD drives? I'd like to avoid physical modification of the box, but the thing is just SO slow with this 'hybrid' drive....

I did it. I installed a sata ssd, and planning to use m.2 for external graphics.

"An update from 2021:

Successfully upgraded both drives to SSDs and installed windows on M.2 one. Did not have to do anything with additional intel RST drivers.

Booted from Win10 installation USB drive (with the latest Win10 version available).

Both drives were visible and accessible from the start."
