Can you install typical laptop mobile Hard Drive in it instead of SSD? Thank you.

No. The NUC uses an mSATA SSD. It is even smaller than a standard 2.5-inch SSD. It looks more like a memory module than a hard disk.

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, this is not a SSD drive. I would not recommend using a SSD drive as an external device. The price point per gigabyte ( X gigabyte/$ = pricepoint) does not make financial sense. Also , you will suffer a performance hit with most of the common available ports on a laptop or pc (USB2/USB3 {avg 90MBs} and eSATA {avg 75MBs}) ,which would neglect the advantage of these super fast devices (SSD avg 500MBs). Because of the port speeds an old fashion hard drive is the best choice.

Most gaming laptops are designed to be modular, so even though the computer doesn't come with an SSD, you can generally swap one in easily. Same goes for disc drives, etc. I'm not sure if the drive that the laptop comes with is Blue-ray compatible or not, for example.

You can swap it out for a SSD, but just make sure you have a copy of all the drivers and some back-up discs of the OS.

No, you can't insert micro SSD in this laptop because it has only two sata slots for two HDDs or SSDs (or both). No msata slots, but dominator pro version has msata slots

I don't know the answer, I would suggest Dell should answer that. Or look for a model that has native solid state drive.

you can't use a mSata SSD because there is no slot available. You can replace the stock Seagate SSHD 1TB + 8GB (HDD and SSD on the same 2.5" drive) by another 2.5" drive or you can add a caddy for a second 2.5" drive but it will replace the graphics card in the ultrabay. sorry for my english i'm from France i hope there are no mistakes !

I'm using a Samsung 830 SSD in mine. I cant remember if I've also got a mechanical 2.5" in there too. It should take 2 of any SSD or 2.5" mechanical hard drive (search for laptop internal drives).These are very fiddly to build and hard to manage the cables inside, very little space inside so take your time. I broke the external USB 3 connection when I built mine because its tricky.

Unless your laptop has space for two hard drives its going to be a little more difficult. One option is of course backing up everything externally and re installing windows onto it, which is in my opinion the best way. But other ssds come with notebook transfer kits like the Crucial M4 which I would suggest over the kingston. But the transfer kit is just a usb to sata connector, so you plug it up to the ssd and into your laptop and there is software that goes along with it to copy everything.

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.

Should work fine, Ive been using mine with the WD Black 250 GB Mobile Hard Drive: 2.5 Inch, 7200 RPM, SATA II, 16 MB Cache, 5 Year Warranty - WD2500BEKT for a week or so & its been A-OK.

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.

Yes, You can have to buy the HDD separate, it doesn't matter wich kind.... SSD or Normal HDD. It is one of the best product on the market at this time. success!

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.

standard laptop, yes. You may need to resize partitions if the size of the storage differ

Yes you can. You can add the SSD to the drive bay from the front of the system which is pretty awesome. I tried the hard way and well failed because of the OS i was trying with. But since then I've left the OS on the main drive which is fast... And everything that's important gets installed on my SSD and it's fast.
