The MSI GS70 has 2 mSATA SSD slots and a standard 2.5 inch drive slot. You can upgrade the mSATA SSDs to larger capacity ones and also set them up in RAID for increased performance. You can also install a standard size SSD in the 2.5 inch bay as well.

Yes you can. You can add the SSD to the drive bay from the front of the system which is pretty awesome. I tried the hard way and well failed because of the OS i was trying with. But since then I've left the OS on the main drive which is fast... And everything that's important gets installed on my SSD and it's fast.

Yes, you can - either an m.2 ssd (harder to install) or a 2.5" ssd which is very easy to install.

You probably need to put them into 3.5" brackets, but electronically there is nothing stopping you from replacing the HDDs with SSDs.

The face place comes off and the drives can be changed. As far as increasing the capacity, I believe you can but I'm not positive

Unless you are skilled in disassembling a notebook, you should not try to change the drive. I changed the drive on my MacBook Pro with great difficulty but it's possible.

Yes. But the capacity will be a little smaller and SSD drives a alot more expensive than disk drives. So you can upgrade it if you wanted to.

When I got it, I had bought a HDD drive, so I opened the bottom panel I could change it really easily. So yes in theory you can add an ssd drive.

The Optical Disk Drive (ODD) which is the DVD drive can be changed to an SSD with a caddy, but unless you are using it as storage I would never do that. You want an SSD with the OS and programs on it put where the HDD (Hard Disk Drive) is currently. Because the current HD is on a SATA III port while the DVD drive I am seeing as being only on a SATA I port. Much slower to put the SSD in the ODD slot.

If the reason you are making the change from the 1TB drive is to go to solid state, you should have no problem making the change to the 500 GB SSD. I bought the 500 SSD to hold only my operating system and the files that go with the default C drive. All programs and other files go to a different drive or drives. Hope this helps.

Yes, according to the manufacturer you can replace any drive at any time. Just be cautious if you use raid, you will need to be able to "split" you capacity in half so it is best to have a balanced distribution of drive capacity.

I believe you can, but it may be difficult. I have opened the case, and could easily change the SSD, but I struggled in trying to get the battery out and gave up since I did not need to replace it. Even now, the battery still lasts about 4 hours on a full charge.

yes, you can. You can install a esata ssd. Or install a docking station and Disk Drive Bay Adapter with hard drive

Any SSD's today replace/upgrade all of the SATA 2.5" hdd = 5200 to 7200rpm down to stone ages 2002 or even earlier.

all you need is a data transfer cable, you can get it anywhere or just order a kit (cable and ssd) from crucial dot com. it clones your hard drive to your new ssd. look it up on youtube.

changing the drive is easy, any SSD SATA would do. I would go about 250g or bigger if you can afford it. Don't forget to clone from the original to get all the proper drivers .

Yes you can, you can buy a new SLIM HDD laptop drive and change it yourself, carefully and remember that by doing that you are probably voiding your warranty
