Can internal HDD be replaced with an SSD?

Here is a link to the EB1033 specs. Looks to me, like you can buy it with SSD already installed. But...... I would contact their support first. http://www.asus.com/us/EeeBox_PCs/EeeBox_PC_EB1033/specifications/

Hard drives are almost always serviceable (replaceable) for most computers, including the Yoga.See this thread regarding ideas for changing out the hard drive for an SSD: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Idea-Windows-based-Tablets-and/Yoga-2-13-Internals/td-p/1472366

You probably need to put them into 3.5" brackets, but electronically there is nothing stopping you from replacing the HDDs with SSDs.

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 :)

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.

You can replace the SSD but you will void the warranty. Samsung Series 9 warranty is voided if the case is open. Samsung warranty excerpt: "You can change the Hard Drive on any Samsung PC that has an HDD panel on the bottom (A panel labeled HDD and held in place with one screw) without voiding the warranty. If your laptop does not have an HDD panel, such as the 9 series, exchanging the HDD voids the warranty because you must dismantle the laptop to access it."

all you need is a data transfer cable, you can get it anywhere or just order a kit (cable and ssd) from crucial dot com. it clones your hard drive to your new ssd. look it up on youtube.

Yes, but you would loose the performance benefits of a SSD on account of the bottleneck of SATA 1.0 interface

You can get an empty casing without a hard drive. It's a standard SATA 2.5" 7mm drive that fits. So if an SSD has SATA, it should work. I put in a 1 TB drive in mine. With the size of the RAW files I get, an SSD drive is not cost effective compared to a hard disc drive, especially when the SD cards I use are 128 gig and 256 gig. Some SATA 2.5" drives are tougher than others for drops and abuse. That could be a viable option, too.

Yes, you can. Also included are two bay areas, so you can install both the SSD and the HDD that came with it.

Not sure. It has held up under very heavy use thus far (for me, since May 2013). However, the SSD is soldered to the motherboard so it's not user-replaceable.

Absolutely. Use Carbon Copy Cloner and that will work great. However, I would just take the old HDD and stick it in a drawer as a backup drive, get another SSD and use it as external super fast storage.

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

It's an mSATA SSD, not a hard drive, and there is a video on blog dot parts-people dot com that shows how to replace it.

Yes, provided the amout of data to be cloned/transferred from the HDD does not exceed the capacity of your SSD.

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.
