Sorry for my ignorance guys. But let's see if I get this right. This is an SSD that I can plug in the small port near the graphics card one?

If the slot you have is for "mSATA" then this card will work. If it has what is called a "M.2" slot then that requires a different type of SSD card since the connector size is different. Best to refer to your motherboard manual just to be sure since not all motherboards have support for these.

No they make PCIe cards that you can connect this to then plug in there or they have SATA adapters that work with it. These are mostly for small form factor PC's like the Intel Nuc or some older tablets that support these natively.

You should review and reference to manufacturers information on the location of its hd allocation avoiding any undesired damage.

Not familiar with the "small port near your graphics card one," but maybe this will help. It's a link to Mydigital and explains what it is. You may be able to contact them and get your answer. I think these devices are called eMMCs and are found in tablets.http://www.mydigitalssd.com/msata-ssd.php

I don't see why not. I would do a little research first though. Check around on Google to see if anyone else has put an ssd in one.

You should be able to. I don't know if you would be able to boot from it though, which is the purpose of the ssd. That seems to be a pretty old machine. go to reddit.com/r/buildapc they can give you better tech info, and help you build a much better pc cheaply. Amazon also sells a wide variety of good processors, and motherboards, that can help with this.

Hi, I have not had occasion to try, so I can't answer the question first-hand. Here is a link that says the RAM is all soldered (not upgradeable) and that the SSD form factor is not one of the usual commercial standards. http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1903/3/ There are different hardware versions and revisions, so your mileage may vary, but I would assume not (easily) on both counts.

there are slots avail for any hard drive you wish to input these gamer towers are wide open nvidia didnt promise anything and mine is by dell.. its a basic tower..you should add that which you think you need

I have found no way to do that. I've searched the forums and no one has attempted this yet. You can upgrade the SSD, but need to get the cover off for that. At the same time, the stock RAM has been just fine for my enterprise computing needs. If you are looking for a hardcore gamer or CAD, then this isn't the machine for you.

No reason why you shouldn't use this along side a standard SSD. I would use the SSD as the boot drive though.

This card is a Sata 2 expansion card. From what I know, Solid state drives..(SSD) use Sata 3 tech. I don't think this is what you are looking for, and if it was, the speeds are far slower and limited should you find a way to get an adapter and make it somehow work. etherdose@gmail.com

There's no mSATA port in external chassis. Inside the laptop it should have a mSATA bracket to install mSATA SSD. We can verify with MSI next Monday.

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

Pretty straight forward if you have built a PC before. Just need to make absolutely sure you order the right notebook memory and SSD drive that work with it. Happy to help you with that. You also need to know how to load an operating system from a flash drive. scanseattle@gmail.com

Yes, but you essentially cannot use the SSD drive; it's merely there for faster boot up from what I've heard.

I just opened mine to put 2x4GB SODIMMs into it ... nope. It is NOT user-upgradeable. Memory chips are soldered on. SSD is mSATA so in the future you could presumably upgrade it to 256GB, but the memory is not upgradeable in this at all. Live and learn.

you should buy msata ssd, there's no sata slot inside. but l removed the CD driver to put my sata ssd inside. hope it will be helpful. :)

Yes, it's a 256GB mSATA SSD(plugs into one of the mini PCI-e slots. Not accessible from the main panel under the system.

Yes, SD in drive bay is OK. There is also an mSATA connector on the mother board that can be used for SSD.

Don't know because each PC has different motherboard and even if it has a mini SATA (msata) connector you'll need to find out if it will boot from that port. Seems like the newest PCs are much more likely to have an msata slot but even when it does, it may not be useable for installing and O.S. I got 2 of these SSDs and most of the PCs I tried it with won't boot from there so I couldn't load Windows and use the other drive for storage as I planned.
