Can I put an SSD on this ?

Robert M.,The system is easily expandable; you can add an SSD or other component(s).

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.

Sorry it took me a few days I had to find time to take mine apart and make sure. It does not have the connector on the motherboard. The pins to solder one on are there if you're handy with a soldering iron, but this should only be attempted if you have done this kind of thing before. A much easier, much safer way to add an SSD is to purchase an "Ultrabay hard drive" dock from e-bay ($20-25) and then you can swap out a hard drive or the extra graphics card when you need each one.

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.

I wouldnt! I think it is used for cache and is software and hardware based. You would probably waste it. You need to look further but I though about buying a 256GB SSD for $120 on sale and replace the 500GB spinning drive with the new SSD and let it still cache if it likes I guess??? not sure lol.

Pretty easy to do I placed Ina 128 sad from Kingston ... I believe any ssd on the market is compatible

No. All a ssd does for you is access your files faster. You don't really need one. It does help if you put games on it.

I am using a Hitachi Deskstar 3.5-Inch 3TB 7200RPM SATA III 6Gbps 64MB Cache Internal Hard Drive I also ordered from amazon. I don't see any reason why you couldn't use an SSD.

It should be able to but you would have to replace the regular hard drive with the ssd don't think it can hold 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.

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.

you probably need a SATA Cable, and also some brackets to mount the SSD. As the packaging don't come with brackets.

Yes, you can - either an m.2 ssd (harder to install) or a 2.5" ssd which is very easy to install.

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, SD in drive bay is OK. There is also an mSATA connector on the mother board that can be used for SSD.

Yes you can. You can add the SSD to the drive bay from the front of the system which is pretty awesome. I tried the hard way and well failed because of the OS i was trying with. But since then I've left the OS on the main drive which is fast... And everything that's important gets installed on my SSD and it's fast.

It should be, although I seem to remember it as formatted NTFS to start with. If your build supports standard SATA interface, you should not have any problems. It has been a very reliable drive for my Windows system. The only caveat is that an SSD does require periodic "garbage collection" by the operating system. You might want to check if your intended OS will support this. This would apply to any SSD that you may be considering.
