I haven't opened my case yet, but I have a 500 GB solid state drive. It's possible it can be a Western Digital, but I don't know if they vary based on drive size. The 1 TB drive could be from a different manufacturer.

The solid state drive give you the performance. I just bought a second (same model) computer. Best I have used for games.

The person I tried to do business with did not follow through,put a solid-state Samsung drive in and it will make the machine feel like brand-new.And you won't have to add the memory most likely.

I believe this particular one came with a 250GB Sata drive. I swapped it out with a 500GB SSD and then removed the DVD drive and used a drive caddy to put in an additional 1TB drive

You can leave the existing harddrive in it and add drives. Mine is one year older and has spots for 3 msata drives, plus the existing hhd. Rest is upgradeable also (video, wifi/bluetooth). I just upgraded my wifi to AC for $32, my msata 128g crucial drive was $97. This model has 4 ram slots the MSI site says 3 ssd slots.. has killer double shot lan/wifi. Turbo fan with just a button push. I love mine. I converted the new msata to the boot drive and use the existing for storage.

That truly depends on how much you are presently using on your 250 now. How much do you really need. That is a question that only you can answer. I downsized quite a bit and don't miss the extra at all. I do really appreciate the speed of the solid state drive.

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.

No. I have a TB in mine. They are the same size no matter what size the GB/TB drive size is.

Dear Mr. Harris thanQ for your enquiry and the Thoshiba 128GB Q series Pro was replaced in my above mention laptop perfectely and working well. This new SSD Drive is running more speed than my old 500 GB mechanical drive after cloningon Windows 7 OS. Now I am using my old drive as external drive for the same laptop pc.

Hi Craig, Thanks for your useful input. At this stage I think I too should have gone for the 1TB model. Now I can't seem to download video clips onto the 1.5 TB. It starts off OK then freezes and the usual Task Manager solutions don't seem to help and I end up with the dreaded blue screen. I have to switch off and start again. Very boring. If anyone has a solution would be most grateful for help

No. It is a 72200 RPM external drive. To my knowledge it is still prohibitively expensive to buy a 1TB solid state and I don't even know if 3TB SSDs are available in the consumer market.

There seem to be different versions of the same basic model. Mine came with a 250 gb spinning platter drive. I put a 128 gb ssd in for about 80 bucks. The kit by monster made that super simple and you can reuse the software and cable for other computers. RAM seems to vary as well. I have three of these 1 from work and 2 bought used.

This works with a Solid State Drive if you want to just buy the chassis and then add your own drive. Otherwise I'm uncertain.
