This Model only has one Hard Drive Slot, You need to go to the 17" version which will include a Second drive option. We also have it at the same price. Contact us for more details.

I use my ssd just for the OS and programs. Data storage such as music and documents I do one an HDD I have both installed internally.

Yes. But the capacity will be a little smaller and SSD drives a alot more expensive than disk drives. So you can upgrade it if you wanted to.

Yes and No. You can order the SSD drive with a data transfer kit or order just the drive without a data transfer kit.

I haven't done that so I can't completely answer but really any SSD should work in it. This laptop really boots up fast compared to a regular HD. I suspect it is one of the new hybrids.

There is no space for a spare drive. You can replace with a SSD like I did but that's it. Just use the USB 3.0 with an external drive.

I personally don't know as I haven't tried to add an SSD. It appears that the bottom of the laptop can be opened up by removing a few screws. I assume there would be an open slot for the additional SSD or HD once the bottom cover is removed.

No, you can't (i guess you're talking about RAM). I'm not quite sure about the SSD, but i have a 64 GB Micro SDXC Card in the slot, that's the same amountn :-P and it works perfectly.

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

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.

No. you will have to buy a separate 2.5 inch SSD drive along with it. I bot one for around 150$.

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

I have corsair vengence ram in mine, and yeah, you can do both a SSD and a HDD (I'm doing it).

if your desktop has a SATA port you're good. I would get this to run the OS/paging/scratch, and another drive to store your data on. SSD is pretty costly other-wise and this way you can still enjoy the performance gain while maintaining the capacity.

mSata SSD. I installed one, it was very easy, apart from repositioning the heat sync, which was just lightly tricky.Note that doing this might void you warranty (check the maker's online documentation.).
