upgrade the 8GB SSD to a hard drive Does anyone know what hard drives will fit/work in this NetBook and will it require a mounting kit?The 8GB is just not big enough.

The hard drive is large enough to run Windows and some basic software, including Office Pro. Files can be saved to SD cards, thumb drives, and a special internal thumb 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?

Not familiar w/ that notebook per se, but, assuming it already has a primary HDD, then must look to see if there's a spot for a secondary. You might also need mounting hardware: screws to attach the drive to some frame/bracket/"carrier" that then mounts the ensmble to the laptop. At least this is what I needed to add this drive as secondary to my Dell Latitude 3300 - only had a 60GB mSata HDD as original equip't. As for the drive itself, a terrific choice (whether as primary or secondary): quiet, fast, and well built (5 yr warranty!). Did I say fast? Hope this helps.

I dont know that computer, but I had no issues installing in my laptop replacing an 80Gb drive. So long as the connector/drive type is the same - you should be good. Note: get an external SDD drive kit that's made to clone the drive - if you don't want to reinstall everything. It made install fast and simple.

you wanna replace your drive or add this one? My computer has a additional space for mSATA ssd, so I don't quite worry about that. But if your computer needs your to replace your drive, I would recommend your a HDD+SSD drive. The first thing you have to check is the interface, is your computer has a mSATA port or just SATA port. The one you are looking at which is the one I am using is mSATA, u don't need to worry about the size of this drive it is the smallest one, size should be compatible. The port is the important thing you have to considered.

You will need a hard drive. Very cheap right now on Newegg.com (2tB for $80.00 US.)

I'm using a Samsung 830 SSD in mine. I cant remember if I've also got a mechanical 2.5" in there too. It should take 2 of any SSD or 2.5" mechanical hard drive (search for laptop internal drives).These are very fiddly to build and hard to manage the cables inside, very little space inside so take your time. I broke the external USB 3 connection when I built mine because its tricky.

The ram is soldered down so that amount you get is what you're stuck with. You can upgrade the hard drive and replace it with a solid state drive which makes the device faster, specifically the boot up time. I bought this laptop for my mom and replaced the hard drive with a Samsung 840 SSD with no issues. A SSD will also keep internal temperatures lower since the memory is flash (like your thumb drive/usb stick) vs. a hard drive which has moving parts.

I am no expert so I took out the hard drive and looked at the specs and ordered a brand with same specs such as sata drive what the amount of memory i wanted and need there are sites you can go on and put in a search to find a compatible one with the specs you find on your hard drive , hoe this hels yes I am a woman and ever did this before but It worked fine. Good Luck

This laptop use a 2.5 inch ssd drive. So you can install 80, 120, 240GB... Have a nice day.

I removed the cover today on mine to replace the HDD with an SSD and add another mSATA. BE FOREWARNED: To remove the case you have to break a "Warranty Void" sticker. Once inside you will find *nothing* can be upgraded replaced without having to completely disassemble the system; I decided to not attempt it. I've been building/upgrading systems for 20 years and the internal design of this system was complex enough to scare me off. The only thing that appears to accessible is the HDD but I could figure out how it was mounted and wasn;tabout to tinker about and make a $2K paperweight :)

yes you can upgrade the hdd but im not sure on the size and also not sure on the ssd hdd. hope this helps.

You cannot upgrade memory her due to it is soldered into motherboard. Also, this particular model has a 128 gb SSD (very fast one), not HDD. Forums says you can upgrade it, but it has specific interface, so it is hard to find a compatible one.

Hello. Ive purchased and currently own this product. This computer has SSD of 256GB and you can use slightly less than that. (The model that is described here) Thank you and let me know if you have any question!

I'm pretty sure that you can replace the 128GB SSD with a larger MSATA SSD. I have not done it myself, but I opened up the laptop and saw the MSATA that's in there. I didn't see any place to put an additional internal drive.

yes upgrade to 8g instead of 6 I would also replace hd with ssd...for super fast...

Ram memory is soldered so it is unexpandable. You'd have to purchae the variant with 8GB by default. SSD is mSata so you can expand manually.

That appears to be some misinformation. It has 8gb of RAM, but not a SSD. The only drives that appear in the explorer are local disk and a lenovo partition, both on the same HDD. There's a chance it's hidden somewhere, but who puts an 8gb hard drive in, solid state or not?
