Is this the Upgrade Kit or is it just the bare SSD drive???

As I recall, this was a kit. It had a cable, an adapter, data transfer software, and a drive housing so you could hook it up as an external drive.

The product includes the actual SSD,,(whichever size you order) as well as all of the software and hardware required to install the drive.

I dont know what you mean by upgrade, but it comes with a ssd, sata cable 3.5 expansion a usb enclose and a install cd

The one I bought included an external drive, cable, and cloning software. Short answer, it was the kit

and nice screwdriver, but yeah be sure, I bought a 240g and it wasn't the kit and thought it was but already had a 120 kit anyway. according to the picture I would say its just a ssd, I got mine from Amazon-as the fulfillment by- not someone else or go with Hyper x as the fulfillment by!

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.

No this is a barebone kit...motherboard, processor and case...u still need hard drive, memory, as well as a disc drive.

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 system memory is soldered to the logic board. It is not user upgrade able. The solid state drive is interchangeable/upgradeable.

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.

I have no idea, I have the 500 GB HDD version, not the lower storage capacity SSD version.

Yes and No. You can order the SSD drive with a data transfer kit or order just the drive without a data transfer kit.

Yes, I installed a SSD right away (Samsung if I recall correctly). It was not necessary to upgrade the BIOS in my case. I installed Windows 7 Professional on the new drive instead of Windows 8. It took a little searching to find all the working hardware drivers, as this machine was never meant to work with the older Windows versions. But I was able to get everything working right in a couple of hours. This has proved to be a great little computer to be used as a media center.

I was unable to locate any specifications for the system you identified.Make sure motherboard has Sata 3Gps or 6Gps (faster)If you are adding the SSD make sure you have an extra SATA port, cable and a place to mount SSD.** If the drive is configured properly on a 6Gps port, there will be a very notable performance boost over any HDD, this SSD will outperform any 10,000 rpm drive.

The blue colored box in the image contains the SSD drive, cables, etc. Installation is very easy to understand. I was able to backup my old drive using Acronis software, to an external drive, swap the drives and restore from the backup.

You can swap it out for a SSD, but just make sure you have a copy of all the drivers and some back-up discs of the OS.

Yes, I used it on another brand SSD. The CD that came as a part of the kit was all I needed, updates are available but I have not needed them when using the CD supplied.

No, you would never expect to have anything pre-installed on a bare drive like this. Formatted maybe, but usually not. Completely empty.
