With regards to the SSD issue. You said the BIOS isn't detecting it? The specs seem to indicate that the interface is SATA III but it doesn't mention if it is backwards compatible. I ask this since I could not find the SATA spec for your ASUS laptop.
For this issue, wouldn't it be best to contact Asus Support?
I'll start today by calling Canada Computers where I bought both the laptop and the SSD drive together, and they knew I planned on putting that drive in that laptop so they should at least know whether it was possible. And one of the techie guys there was impressively knowledgeable about Linux so I'm going to start there. It may be something as simple as flipping a setting in the BIOS.
