Is the SSD and HDD in a single enclosure or can I upgrade the SSD after buying 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 :)

Separately. Read the product description. Package includes 2.5-Inch SSD, 3.5-Inch bracket and mounting screws.

That depends on the model you get. Some model editions have the hybrid with the SSD cache. For the models with the SSD, it is a hybrid and not two separate drives.

It is but you won't be able to use the 6gb sata port because it will cover it up. This will only be a problem if you want to use an ssd for your system drive because ssd's should only be used on a 6gb port.

Hi. It comes with two 750gb x 2 drives, so you can replace one with ssd if you want. included hard drives perform as typical hard drives. nothing special, but it does its job storing and great in a sense that u get two gigantic sized hard drives. u can just buy one of WD ext hdds at a cheap cost if you want an additional space.

Yes, it does come with both the SSD amd the HD! Really improves on the boot times. I don't know about the layout, though it's likely not possible...

The blue colored box in the image contains the SSD drive, cables, etc. Installation is very easy to understand. I was able to backup my old drive using Acronis software, to an external drive, swap the drives and restore from the backup.

I bought that computer for my son, he loves it, no problems. Unfortunately I don't know what a ssd drive is, nor does he, so I can't give you any info on that.

Hi, No, you need to buy the hard drive separately. You can choose freely if you want HDD og SSD drives - but I can highly recommend SSD :-)Cheers

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

Depends. You can replace the Hdd, with a ssd, or you can add up to two msata drives and leave the Hdd. I replaced the Hdd with a ssd, and added a msata drive.

It's a 320gb hard drive. The ssd refurs to the 16gb - 32gb sd card. It's on the asus website. But this guy doesn't tell you is that there isn't an operating system in the product that he is selling. All he told was he "had to listen everything from asus site". Good computer crappy seller

changing the drive is easy, any SSD SATA would do. I would go about 250g or bigger if you can afford it. Don't forget to clone from the original to get all the proper drivers .

I added the ssd. Really improved the unit. Not sure about another optical drive

Thanks for your information. I did also find out that there's a sata port intended for an optical drive. If so, then I can mount the SSD in that bay and still have all 4 bays for data. Now - does anybody know if the BIOS can handle 3TB drives without repartitioning?

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.

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.
