It should work fine once your desktop uses SATA for its hard drives (only old ones don't). Note however that this particular package does not include free software to migrate your operating system and data from your current hard drive to the SSD. You'll have to install and use your own software to do this. I recommend Partition Wizard, available from www.partitionwizard.com

The WD800JD is a SATA 3.0Gb/s drive so your motherboard is definitely compatable with the Kingston HyperX SSD.If you are replacing the drive... no worries.If you are adding the SSD, check to see if you have a power connector and SATA connection available to connect the new drive.

Unless you are skilled in disassembling a notebook, you should not try to change the drive. I changed the drive on my MacBook Pro with great difficulty but it's possible.

I haven't done that with this laptop, but have swapped a hard drive with an SSD on another HP laptop and it worked great. You just need to get an SSD hard drive that fits in a laptop, most of the more common SSD's do. You also will need to backup and restore the operating system from the existing disk to the new ssd drive.

Any sata drive should be fine, and all of the versions are backwards compatible with the sata version. You just have to screw it into the caddy on your current drive, but if you don't need that much space look at a 128 GB solid state drive sdd at 2.5 inches. Make your lap top faster on the cheap.

It looks like that laptop has a hard drive in it which should be removable and replaceable. This SSD will fit both 7mm and 9.5mm (with adapter) so you should be good to go. I am still using this excellent SSD in my main office PC and I am very happy with it.

I once talked to a fellow on the amazon message boards and he told me he had managed to take the stock hard drive out and put in an ssd. That's what he told me he did. I took his word for it and maybe you should too. But it was just his word so proceed with caution. It might void the warranty if you do swap the hard drives out.

No reason why you shouldn't use this along side a standard SSD. I would use the SSD as the boot drive though.

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

I do not see the point of changing the one it has already for the one you mentioned, because both are hybrids and the hybrids have a flaw when we talk about proper speed. Change for a proper SSD (http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-MZ-7TD250BW-Solid-State-2-5-Inch/dp/B009NHAEXE/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1373543806&sr=1-2&keywords=samsung+ssd) than it will make a lot of difference on speed (boot up time and every day use). If you need more space, use an external drive for storage.

This looks like a hybrid drive to me. The 8GB SSD drive is for files that are used frequently. It can provide a speed boost when accessing frequently used files/programs. You won't be able to directly access it.

Yes, you can replace the hard drive with a solid state. You cannot have both. There is only one slot for a hard drive.

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.

Yes you can. Check out this post for more in-depth discussion regarding this. Page 12 has a good, step-by-step process for replacing and installing a new SSD. http://forum.notebookreview.com/acer/724622-aspire-v7-482pg-9884-a.html

Here is what I had to do. Format the SSD, so it will be recognized as a drive with a new drive letter. Don' forget, cloning will bring over your present operating system as well, so upgrade it first, if you want a new one.Both Samsung and Seagate have included software. Be sure only to use USB 2.0. bE ADVISED IF YOU HAVE A FAIRLY NEW MB, CONTACT THE MB Co. which SATA CONNECTIONS (PORTS) TO USE. SOME ARE TOO SLOW.

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 you can. here is a link to see what kind of SSD drive available for this laptop http://drivesolutions.com/cgi/shop/ug2store.cgi?command=listitems&kind=hpl&pos=0&type=itemid&itemid=hpl283 Good luck, this laptop totally worth it.

Yes. This is for a desktop case where you would normally have 1 3.5 inch hard drive. You can put two SSD hard drives in place of 1 3.5 inch drive.
