When I got it, I had bought a HDD drive, so I opened the bottom panel I could change it really easily. So yes in theory you can add an ssd drive.

That configuration is not offered from the factory as of the time of this answer, but you can upgrade the SSD and the RAM. There is a Youtube video currently available to show you how to do that. You will void your warranty if you open the unit to upgrade it. Also, you can add an SDHC card if you need more local storage space.

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

Yes there is plenty of space for an additional drive. As long as the Solid State Drive is SATA you should be fine.

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. you will have to buy a separate 2.5 inch SSD drive along with it. I bot one for around 150$.

Hello Pedro, you can install any current SSD size, I would recommend 128 or 256 GB better, thanks.

I can not answer that question because I did not install the SSD. I brought it to the greek squad at Bestbuy. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Yes.But buy the 128gb ssd version.Otherwise you will have very little space for other programs.Really like mine!Also works great with optional 64gb micro sd card

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.

Not sure, I am running a 256 Gig SSD drive. Try the Gigabyte manufacturer's support forums.

Hi Johu, yes, it certainly does, as it is about 25%. However, I strongly recommend using SSDs as you will certainly notice a huge difference in performance, in everything you do. For your information, you will actually have 106GB available. Windows, plus other software installed will take you about 20/25GB, so you will remain really with 80GB, hopefully a bit more. In case you need more capacity for media files, which can take up storage, you can always use an external drive. For me, it's working just fine.

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.
