I have just ordered one. How hard is it to put in a SSD? Anything I have to know before ordering a SSD?

Yes, I did put an SSD in and it works! I bought it in mid 2013 and prices were pretty steep then, so I bought a SanDisk 64 GB Solid State Drive with Low Power Consumption SDSSDP-064G-G25 (on Amazon). The issue is size, it should have the right dimensions and then it just slips right in and works.

I haven't messed with the hdd yet, so I don't know about installing a ssd. The 2 blank memory slots are very easy to access and you can quickly plug in more RAM.

the one i bought came with 2 128GB SSD, they probably just typed it wrong. the OS could even fight on 256MB

I'm pretty sure that you can replace the 128GB SSD with a larger MSATA SSD. I have not done it myself, but I opened up the laptop and saw the MSATA that's in there. I didn't see any place to put an additional internal drive.

I am using a Hitachi Deskstar 3.5-Inch 3TB 7200RPM SATA III 6Gbps 64MB Cache Internal Hard Drive I also ordered from amazon. I don't see any reason why you couldn't use an SSD.

You can install it but it may not boot on the first try. If it does not wrk initially, you can boot from a USB or network, then you go to preferences and set the drive as your default boot drive and it will be fine. The boot time though is faster using ssd on a sata connection than on this card!

I'm not familiar with the English language I opened this device but I did not replace it with an SSD drive. Because I don't have any extra SSD drive. I think it seems easy to replace another ssd drive. but This device is attached by adhesive. so be careful when you open it.

There is a video floating around of someone replacing the SSD with a larger one, FYI. RAM, however, is fixed.

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 .

I can not answer that question because I did not install the SSD. I brought it to the greek squad at Bestbuy. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Yep, works great... we use the SSD for the OS and installed programs. Then use a 1TB drive for data. Very fast boot times with this configuration.

mSata SSD. I installed one, it was very easy, apart from repositioning the heat sync, which was just lightly tricky.Note that doing this might void you warranty (check the maker's online documentation.).

I did quite a bit of Googling before I tackled the SSD installation and settled on using EaseUS Todo Backup Free to get Windows, etc., cloned to the new drive. As far as I recall, I had no problems with the installation and cloning process, and I've not had any problems with the PC in the six months or so since I installed the SSD drive.

Yes and No, the process requires a slightly more lengthy process. I would do some research and see if you are comfortable with the install. Here is an example of some helpful information. http://jeffreypalermo.com/blog/adding-a-second-ssd-to-my-lenovo-yoga-amp-8gb-ram/ I am not overly familiar with the process however.
