can you upgrade the hard drive to an ssd?

Yes. But the capacity will be a little smaller and SSD drives a alot more expensive than disk drives. So you can upgrade it if you wanted to.

You can actually!The HDD bay has room and screw holes for another SSD drive right on top of the first!

Yes, but you essentially cannot use the SSD drive; it's merely there for faster boot up from what I've heard.

Yes you can. I used this to upgrade from a SATA 128GB SSD to a 256GB SSD. You install the software, connect the new target SATA drive with the adapter, select the partition to copy and let it run. Took me 45 minutes to do this. I then shut down my PC, swapped drives and restarted the PC and I was back in business.

There isn't a hard drive. It's a SDD. You ca check Crucial.com, they have a scan tool that will evaluate your machine and recommend upgrades.

You can but you will need a new copy of Windows (unless you manage to transfer your OS files to the new drive) and you may want a hot swap USB adapter if you want to transfer your files from the current HD to the new one or use it without throwing it in a desktop. The SSD should noticeable speed up your Dell, too. And look up tutorials on removing and installing laptop hard drives

you can add any amount of storage you want, regardless of type. SSD = solid state drive, no moving parts; HDD = Hard drive disk, moving parts. They both use the same data connector and power cables, so either one will work however SSD's load data very fast but cost alot more $$ per GB. Most people load their operating system (OS) on an SSD for a fast boot time, then at the same time use a HDD to store all their data, ie games movies picture music. So if you want to use both i reccomend buying a small SSD to load your OS on, then use a HDD for mass storage

No to both questions. It is theoretically possible to do the SSD thing if you are an knowledgeable disassembler, because there is not removeable panel for the hard drive. RAM is out of the question, because it is soldered in, not in a clip. Sounds like you want a different product.

You can purchase with or without the HDD or SSD drive. I orrdered without a drive and install my own 250GB HDD.

I don't believe it is possible as the footprint of the SSD drive is different from that of a SATA drive..

Yes, this is possible: you can easily upgrade the HDD and increase the RAM in this computer

Absolutely! I replaced the HD with an SSD (Samsung Pro 840 250GB). The computer works amazingly fast and it is so reliable especially after it was upgraded to Windows 8.1.

It can upgrade to 32gb but is not very easy. It can't put desktop Gpu on It. And about that ssd, I don't know.....sorry. Ps: if you give me another chance, I will bought a Clevo :).

Any SSD's today replace/upgrade all of the SATA 2.5" hdd = 5200 to 7200rpm down to stone ages 2002 or even earlier.

Pretty much out of the question. You could put a larger SSD in place of the original. The USB 3 port gives excellent performance with a compatible external drive.

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

Current I have a 125gb ssd drive. 500gb ssd was not available when I purchased it. I suppose you could put one in.
