Yes, but I've had problems with the ADATA S599 series hanging unpredictably.

The only issue you will encounter is if you want to use both the 750gb and the ssd, you will have to find a bracket/caddy for it, and not in stock atm, not that expensive though like $20, but hard to get them in stock.

Yes, you can use an ssd. Currently have a samsung EVO 1TB ssd installed. Both hdd and ssd will work just fine, I'm using both

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.

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 .

Hi i purchased Transcend 256 GB SATA III 6Gb/s MTS400 42 mm M2. ssd but it's not compatible and not visible on ahci mode and it's very slow on compatible mode, can any one confirm that MyDigitalSSD is visible on AHCI mode and there no compatibility issue

Pretty much out of the question. You could put a larger SSD in place of the original. The USB 3 port gives excellent performance with a compatible external drive.

Yes you can put in a larger SSD hard drive. I was looking at one that is 32GB. Forgot the vendor name though. I think it was something patriotic in the name. Maybe Patriot?

I do not see the point of changing the one it has already for the one you mentioned, because both are hybrids and the hybrids have a flaw when we talk about proper speed. Change for a proper SSD (http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-MZ-7TD250BW-Solid-State-2-5-Inch/dp/B009NHAEXE/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1373543806&sr=1-2&keywords=samsung+ssd) than it will make a lot of difference on speed (boot up time and every day use). If you need more space, use an external drive for storage.

any SSD with 7mm height. Standard SSD are 9.5mm and they wouldn't fit in there. Just for example, this VERY EXPENSIVE one will work: http://www.samsung.com/us/computer/memory-storage/MZ-7PC512N/AM

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.

I once talked to a fellow on the amazon message boards and he told me he had managed to take the stock hard drive out and put in an ssd. That's what he told me he did. I took his word for it and maybe you should too. But it was just his word so proceed with caution. It might void the warranty if you do swap the hard drives out.

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.

To be honest with you, IDE to SATA 3 - why? That IDE interface is sooooooo slow it would bottle neck the speed poential of this SSD drastically. I question SATA1 being used with SSD. Time to upgrade the PC.

Current I have a 125gb ssd drive. 500gb ssd was not available when I purchased it. I suppose you could put one in.

Hi there, I do not think so, Apple has used a certain type of connector, look up OWC ssd upgrades they should have info on Mac ssd upgrades

I had a slightly different experience. Since Microsoft bakes their Windows 8 product keys into an inaccessible part of the BIOS, there is no sticker to give you a Windows 8 product key. When installing an SSD on other Windows 8 laptops (including the one I'm using right now), the install DVD (I ended up having to buy a license of Windows 8) recognized the product key from the BIOS and uses it. On the Asus G750, this doesn't happen... long story short, if you add an SSD and you want a clean install, you're going to need to buy a copy of Windows 8. Still worth it though.

While I've never installed one in an older MacBook, I see no reason it shouldn't work. No promises though. And that said, it won't fully take advantage of the speed of the SSD because it will be limited by the 1500mbps SATA bus in the MacBook (this SSD can perform sequential reads of 4000mbps).
