Is there an SSD drive

solid state drive, no. I've read that a new batch of SSD drives will be release later this year (of course) that will be cheaper and bigger. Battery life is around 6 hours, better than all other new models running windows eight. Having a blu-ray burner is nice. I couldn't find a laptop for this price that had one. http://gizmodo.com/5969012/short-battery-life-sinks-first-windows-8-notebooks?tag=windows-8

I am almost sure it has an internal disk. A solid state drive costs much much for less storage area.

Nothing outside of the Drive itself sees the SSD. All your computer detects is a standard SATA III drive. The SSD is controlled within the drive with cache firmware to deliver better performance.

The one we purchased did not have ssd like the one posted, everything else was the same. It's been a great machine.

Hello, This item has one hard drive installed to make the 500 GB SSD. Thank you, Jesse

Hi!SSD - for System, programs and games (because it's much more quick)HDD - for photos, videos, music, other.

The SSD isn't a typical storage drive. It is used to save the windows state on shut-down so the computer boots faster. You can not save programs to it or access in the typical manner. The OS is installed on the 500gb drive along with all programs and files. I am an IT person and this is still an extremely fast computer even for the OS not being on the SSD.

Yes, you can use an ssd. Currently have a samsung EVO 1TB ssd installed. Both hdd and ssd will work just fine, I'm using both

This computer came with only a 500GB 7200 RPM hard drive. However, there is an expansion slot for you to add an SSD if you are interested in going that route.

It doesn't come with a DVD drive, however i believe there is a version with dvd instead of the SSD. I hope you have a fabulous life Michael.

Hi, No, you need to buy the hard drive separately. You can choose freely if you want HDD og SSD drives - but I can highly recommend SSD :-)Cheers

It has a solid state hybrid drive (SSHD). What that means is that it has a combination of a regular hard drive (500GB) fused with a SSD drive (24GB). If you want to learn more about it, there is a great Wikipedia article that you can find easily by doing a Google search for hybrid drives.

SSD drive are solid state memory, similar, but not exactly the same as the memory your computer runs on. They can be re-written over and over again, but do have a life span for the number of writes.... You will never see an issue with this, unless you have 'failure' which is uncommon. I have replaced all 3 HDs in my machines with SSD drives..... I am NOT running any HD drives at all any more......... They are fast and quiet........

This is not an SSD drive. It is still a standard hard drive. But what it has is that at boot up it has an SSD system that boots up. This is where it's a little faster than regular drives. Plus it memorizes your most used apps so it keeps them in memory in order to start them faster. This happens with usage.This in general without going into full technical details.

I don't think that you can order it configured with an SSD, but it would be easy to purchase your favorite SSD and replace the HDD in the computer after it arrives. This computer has a lid on the bottom which makes it easy to access the drive.
