Can I add an SSD to this machine or can I replace the HDD with an SSD?

Yes that is possible. The harddisk is accessable and replaceable. If you want you can also add it to the machine. However there is no mounting bracket for it. So you would have to get creative. But there are enough sata ports.

You can, but if you're still in the market for a computer I would just buy a different one that already has a drive.

You can update to SSD. Very easy, however you will loose some storage space. SSDs are faster. You can't replace the DVD with a caddy. External caddy or sled with a usb 3.0 is great.

Yes, it is upgradeable to 240/500GB M2 SSDs, but you need to void the warranty (as it requires modification of the internal hardware and opening the computer) and requires some configuration from the HDD, so it is possible a clean install of Windows may be required after modification to accomodate the new SSD drive.

Sorry we can't add SSD for you. We are selling the factory default as it is from MSI. You can add SSD by yourself.

im not the owner of this but if you want an upgrade like that it would be some kind of 400$ or 450$ more, solid state drives (ssd) are really expensive

Yes, it is a msata SSD and can be upgraded. You can Google it or go to YouTube and there are videos in how to do it.

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 :)

You could but I would not recommend it due to the slow transfer speeds. Which is the largest benefit of owning an SSD.

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.

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.

I don't think that you can order it configured with an SSD, but it would be easy to purchase your favorite SSD and replace the HDD in the computer after it arrives. This computer has a lid on the bottom which makes it easy to access the drive.

That configuration is not offered from the factory as of the time of this answer, but you can upgrade the SSD and the RAM. There is a Youtube video currently available to show you how to do that. You will void your warranty if you open the unit to upgrade it. Also, you can add an SDHC card if you need more local storage space.

This is a barebone PC which you have to add storage device by yourself. You can either add SSD or HDD, and the choice is your's. 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!

The Intel SSD HD can replace any 3.5 or 2.5 SATA drive (there is an adapter to fix in space for the HD 3.5 inch). I prefer to reinstall the software on the new HD. My desktop was very fast.
