Can I add a SSD in this desktop?

Yes there is plenty of space for an additional drive. As long as the Solid State Drive is SATA you should be fine.

I have no idea. I hear bad things about SSD's and was going to purchase but when three vendors and a tech support agent advised against I decided to listen.

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

That dock should accept SSDs but I have never tried, so I can't say for sure.

If this is your only storage device no. This drive is to small as a stand alone. Best if you put your operating system on it and use a normal hard drive as your main storage. You can use the extra on the ssd as virtual memory and this can speed up a system greatly.

i have not, have you looked at the OCZ site for info? http://ocz.com/consumer/ssd-guide

Yes. I installed one. There's a slot to add a second HDD but it would just put SSD in it.

Is it a desktop? I needed a SATA power source in my PC I just built for the SSD but not in my laptop.

No to both questions. It is theoretically possible to do the SSD thing if you are an knowledgeable disassembler, because there is not removeable panel for the hard drive. RAM is out of the question, because it is soldered in, not in a clip. Sounds like you want a different product.

I would think that's possible, though you'd be voiding your warranty. It might be more cost effective to look at the mercury elite thunderbolt 2-drive enclosure which you can buy empty, then add SSDs.

If I recall correctly, you can install an mSATA SSD into the motherboard, if you are using a standard 2.5" SSD you need to use an adaptor kit to mount it in one of the 3.5" bays.

As long as you don't change the motherboard, you're OK. I have changed out both my laptop and desktop (OS) hard drives to SSDs with no problem.There is a Microsoft Licensing FAQ on this --- it's under Refurbished/Used PCs.http://www.microsoft.com/OEM/en/licensing/sblicensing/pages/licensing_faq.aspx#fbid=ZeL6n4MrK8a

I don't believe it is possible as the footprint of the SSD drive is different from that of a SATA drive..

im not the owner of this but if you want an upgrade like that it would be some kind of 400$ or 450$ more, solid state drives (ssd) are really expensive

This computer have 2 hard drive slots, and one is empty when you get the computer, which means you can add an SSD without replacing the HDD.

Yes. It is installed the same way as a hard drive. You can even install both of them if you want. But note that, the ssd is for more speed at saving but have less memory. Hope this could help. Have a good day

It should be, although I seem to remember it as formatted NTFS to start with. If your build supports standard SATA interface, you should not have any problems. It has been a very reliable drive for my Windows system. The only caveat is that an SSD does require periodic "garbage collection" by the operating system. You might want to check if your intended OS will support this. This would apply to any SSD that you may be considering.
