I don't know as I never did it. If I were you, I would call acer and ask them. Sorry I couldn't help. Good luck!

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.

Yes. Should you so choose, you can have the optical drive replaced with an SSD and run your system from the SSD. So much faster!

Yes as long as you don't have more data on your drive than the SSD capacity.

If you have 2 internal drives now you would have to replace one of them with the SSD drive unless you run the SSD Externally .

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.

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

Yes, I actually just ordered a 500 GB drive for mine and will be doing it as soon as it arrives. There are several "how-to" threads on the web that details the steps required. My only caution would be to take your time, take plenty of pictures along the way and keep the old drive in a safe place so you always have a backup. The new SSD will not only shorten your boot time to seconds it will also dramatically increase your battery life. Good Luck.

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

I have a y570 and wanted to swap out the 64gb ssd in it. Were you swapping out an existing ssd?

No, it comes with 20G SSD & 500G HDD hibrid drive. But I understand you can install M-2 SSD because the slot is empty as it was shipped. By the way, you cannot swap the hibrid drive with SSD because the connector for the drive is not conventional...

Steffan is correct. Look up overprovisioning in google. Sandisk and Intel does this for you while companies like Samsung expect you to just partition the drive smaller or use their tool to shrink the drive if you install it using the Max size. You need to over provision an ssd for it to work properly, but some companies want you to see that 256GB on the box and think "Well, that is bigger than 240GB, Ill get the bigger one"

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

No, you can't (i guess you're talking about RAM). I'm not quite sure about the SSD, but i have a 64 GB Micro SDXC Card in the slot, that's the same amountn :-P and it works perfectly.

The drives are replaceable but I don't know if you can use larger drives than what comes with it.

yes you can upgrade the hdd but im not sure on the size and also not sure on the ssd hdd. hope this helps.

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