Can I install an additional SDD on this?

Hello Al V. You can install an SDD. Upon further inspection of the user manual, it appears to me that there are two limitations you should be aware of (you should contact customer support to verify of course). Firstly, the SDD must seemingly be either 256GB or 512GB, no more and no less. It seems on the support forums others have had difficulty installing SDDs of a different size than those two. In addition, the laptop in question needs to be running an intel processor. I believe the 15t Quad model has only intel but I have seen variations of the Envy line with AMD processors so watch out. To my knowledge, there is only one drive bracket, and therefore you can only have one drive. I hope this answers your question.

I will agree with the other two comments.. Just upgrade the drive to a larger size. Storage is pretty cheap these days. Good Luck!

No.I believe you can purchase an adapter for the optical drive location and place a second HDD in there. This will replace your current optical drive of course, so you would have to decide if that's something you can live without or you could purchase an external optical drive.

yes you can add extra HD, this laptop has 2 hard drive bays. Ram can be upgraded to 32GB max.

Sure. it just a HDD with some free software from WD. No need to install this software or keep it on a HDD ;)

Yes you can install two of these however if it is a 32 bit system it will only show it using 3.75 GB of the ram. If 64 bit system show using all 4 GB

You can not actually add additional hard drive, but you could replace the original with new one has more capacity.I would suggest to use external hard drive.

No but you can add a second drive in the DVD bay using a DVD caddy. I replaced the hard drive with a 128 gig Samsung 840 Pro SSD ($114.99) for use as the boot/system/program drive, and then mounted the 500 gig drive I removed in a Universal SATA Hard Drive Caddy ($13.65) and put this in the empty DVD bay for the data drive.

I don't think you can. This unit uses its own proprietary file system (a pain, IMHO), and formats the drives at install.It's a decent unit if you know your way around linux and have time to configure it, but I have to say that overall it's not a system you can easily jump into and set up quickly...

No, but you can expand the "disk" memory by getting a larger SD card. Also, you can add an external, USB hard drive.

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

Theoretically, you can since the dock mode presents the two HDDs in JBOD layout from my understanding but I've only used it to clone HDDs. Please confirm with StarTech instead, I'm just one of the many customers.

Oung S., Yes, you can install an SSD into the unit and use it at the primary boot device after installing an O/S on it.

There are screw holes available on the normal HDD mounting brackets. There is also a place on the MB mounting tray to install a SDD.

No this is a formatted pic hdd. You may be able to attempt an external hook up with it but not an internal swap. I'd do some Google searching though I'm not sure if this one will work externally due to its size.

Just follow the instructions. You need to have 2 HDs (3.5 inch form factor, desktop)
