Hello Dany, I know you can make the same configuration that the MD389LL/A has with one hard drive and an internal SSD. I believe you can go with two hard disk, too. Your systen will perform best with an internal SSD and hard disk. You are welcome.

i dont' think you can fit 2 drives. anyway i use one external drive (usb 3.0) so that works well. but i i do recommend getting one sad

Each drive will always be a bit different, as no two drives will have the exactly the same free space. Mine is 931GB

There is a small jumper that comes with the drive that will allow you to make it either 3 or 6 whichever you need, the 6 is faster and may work with your system, Try it on 6 first and if it doesn't work you can use the 3 .

There seem to be different versions of the same basic model. Mine came with a 250 gb spinning platter drive. I put a 128 gb ssd in for about 80 bucks. The kit by monster made that super simple and you can reuse the software and cable for other computers. RAM seems to vary as well. I have three of these 1 from work and 2 bought used.

None...you install the hard drives you want, If you go to their website you can find out a lot of answers. www.bufflaotech.com

I'm using a "Crucial M500 M.2 2280 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CT120M500SSD4 " that I caught on sale for $46 for boot and antivirus, with a 500GB ssd for pgms and a 1TB for snapshots and data. No problems with install from optical disk, no problems running Win7. Not any faster than a standard ssd. Consider what you will do when the M.2 ssd fails, do you have a back up replacement ready to go? Or will you revert to a standard ssd?

Its better than that....you have 2 drive bays available from the front of the machine that allow hot swapping of hard drives and normal use or RAID configuration. Wicked.....

1TB SSD+HDD faster boot and photoshop work well! But Balance must Core i5 or i7 and 16GB Ram important work faster!! IF core i3 and 8GB Ram no possible!!

if you want tons of storage and ultimate reliability, use this Samsung Electronics 840 EVO-Series 1TB 2.5-Inch SATA III Single Unit Version Internal Solid State Drive MZ-7TE1T0BW, I just got it for a little over $500 on Amazon. if you dont want to spend that much money than I used WD Blue 1 TB Mobile Hard Drive: 2.5 Inch, 5400 RPM, SATA II, 8 MB Cache - WD10JPVT. Both seem to work fine.

You can add up to 2 mSATA drives which are SSD technology, they just go into specific mSATA slots instead of a regular SATA slot.

Any SATA drives will work, but I would recommend using the same drives in both bays.

I've seen the same way of describing the ssd in other computers and they only contain 1 ssd drive. On the Sony website there is no mention of 2 separate hard drives. I am reasonably sure this model only has a I7 2.0 ghz processor and 1 256 gb ssd. I'm ordering one today. I was confused at first also

Sorry, I don't understand the question. But if you add the Data Doubler, you can put your SSD in either the upper or lower slot. Or you could put a pair of SSD's in the machine (or a pair of conventional spinning drives for that matter). You're really just getting the parts you need to leverage the space that was left for a 2nd drive. I hope that helps.

You will only need one spot for the installation. The SSD will be configured by default. I had trouble with the HHD configuration. So, I returned it back to Amazon.

No idea but Google around. I see lots of comments about SSD and RAID setups on the net. Good luck!

It would be a personal choice. If you need to keep it simple then adding is your choice. (1 drive, 1 address) If you don't mind 2 seperate drives and addresses then buy the 14 and manage both.

you can add any amount of storage you want, regardless of type. SSD = solid state drive, no moving parts; HDD = Hard drive disk, moving parts. They both use the same data connector and power cables, so either one will work however SSD's load data very fast but cost alot more $$ per GB. Most people load their operating system (OS) on an SSD for a fast boot time, then at the same time use a HDD to store all their data, ie games movies picture music. So if you want to use both i reccomend buying a small SSD to load your OS on, then use a HDD for mass storage
