Can I put SSDs into the back instead of the standard Hard Drives they have?

This box uses fairly standard hard drive "trays" so if you can find adapters to fit into the trays I don't know why you couldn't.

Yes. It is installed the same way as a hard drive. You can even install both of them if you want. But note that, the ssd is for more speed at saving but have less memory. Hope this could help. Have a good day

It would not by itself :). There are a few cloning softwares that would do that. Some ssd's would come with cloning software installed but I don't know if this one does. Also keep in mind the size of the data on the original HD not to exceed your drive capacity

Mine didnt come with a cdrom drive. So i guess you can put it there. Just find a adapter or housing for it. Ther drive bays are for 3.5 drives. Most ssd comes with 3.5 adapters. But if you need the space use the cdrom slot. And get an external dvd reader.

You could take out the HDD and put a SSD in there and not have to worry about any software since those are all installed on the mSATA drives.

Depends. You can replace the Hdd, with a ssd, or you can add up to two msata drives and leave the Hdd. I replaced the Hdd with a ssd, and added a msata drive.

Yes you can mount any SSD to any hard drive bay I have this same exact case and I got a SSD.

Yes. There are some videos on YouTube about swapping the hdd for an ssd one and even videos where you can take out the DVD drive and buy a mount that is the perfect match for a second ssd.

The default HDD cage only has 3 slots to hold drives, so you would have to purchase a separate cage (which there is room for, unless you have a longer GPU). There are also 2 SSD bays on the back, each holding a single drive

In the hard drive bracket. Most SSDs come with a bracket to fit in normal Hard drive slots.

Yes. I immediately swapped out the 750GB 2.5" HDD for a 256 Samsung 830 SSD with no problems. Buy an external enclosure for the 750GB and you're set for more than enough storage.

You can, but it's not so easy because you have to open the case. Also, this S7 has two SSD drives, each of 64gb, that are joined by the in hardware RAID. So, you will probably need to rebuild this raid once the SSDs are changed.

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.

Absolutely! Solid state drive doesn't have moving parts like a traditional HDD. This allows much greater performance and greatly decreases risk of failure....

You can as long as where your present Hard drive is incaged. Me I found that an enclosed case (Metal box case) you cannot use this item because it sticks out to far. Hope this helps.

Yes, You can have to buy the HDD separate, it doesn't matter wich kind.... SSD or Normal HDD. It is one of the best product on the market at this time. success!
