is the hard drive upgradeable to a SSD

Yes, although you will be able to get speeds of 1.5 gigabits per second only.

No, it is not and the operating system cannot be upgraded to the new operating systems. It is very limited.

Depends. You can replace the Hdd, with a ssd, or you can add up to two msata drives and leave the Hdd. I replaced the Hdd with a ssd, and added a msata 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.

You can update to SSD. Very easy, however you will loose some storage space. SSDs are faster. You can't replace the DVD with a caddy. External caddy or sled with a usb 3.0 is great.

I am pretty sure it can, I am planning on upgrading the HD to a SSD as well. The stock harddrive is slow, but the display and and processor are excellent. Not sure why they crippled the PC like that.

I haven't messed with the hdd yet, so I don't know about installing a ssd. The 2 blank memory slots are very easy to access and you can quickly plug in more RAM.

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

Yes, provided the amout of data to be cloned/transferred from the HDD does not exceed the capacity of your SSD.

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 it can be upgraded it's a 2.5" drive. The one it comes with(or at least mine) is Western Digital Model#: WD5000BPVT. Search that hard drive model and you will find all kinds of information about it. It is the one that is in it and the same form factor will have to replace it. Height 9.5mm Width 69.75mm Length 100.3mm

I opened mine up to check. Hard drive and memory are upgradeable but CPU and graphics card are not. By the time the accessories that are needed to actually use this are available, this will be obsolete.

The ssd can be swapped out. It is a proprietary ssd and owc is the only one who makes them currently.

The best way I can answer your question is to provide this link to Kingston. I did not have any problems with install or moving the data to the new drive.Here is the link:http://www.kingston.com/us/ssd/v?ktc_campaign=US_SSD&gclid;=CjgKEAjwkpacBRCNlprWw-u-nBwSJACwHiw-5vJeySawQH5VVAJ-KktgFa8qBmE-9nNEPP1oqsYekvD_BwEJust copy it and paste it in your address bar.

Yes. Very good computer. Hard drive upgraded to SSD and it became very fast.

I don't understand why you would upgrade the SSD. It is blazing fast as is. If you need storage, using cloud services has worked for me. I read that upgrading these machines on your own is generally not recommended.

Not sure. It has held up under very heavy use thus far (for me, since May 2013). However, the SSD is soldered to the motherboard so it's not user-replaceable.
