Installing mSATA Solid State Drive in Dell Precision M3800

I'm considering getting a Dell Precision M3800 Mobile Workstation, would want to install my own mSATA SSD in it. Does anyone here have one of these machines? If so, is an SSD a user-installable component? And if so again, how much needs to be taken apart? Thanks much.
