Does this Ideapad Y580 model on display support SSD hard drives?

It does support mini-SSD upto 120GB has been reported. http://www.lenovo.com/products/us/laptop/ideapad/y-series/y580/y580-datasheet.pdf. What I want to know is if it can accommodate a second 2.5" SATA disk...?

The system memory is soldered to the logic board. It is not user upgrade able. The solid state drive is interchangeable/upgradeable.

There's no mSATA port in external chassis. Inside the laptop it should have a mSATA bracket to install mSATA SSD. We can verify with MSI next Monday.

No. If you check out the Buffalo web site they list the hard drives that are compatible. No SSD drives were listed back in 12/13 when I purchased mine.

While it is true that you can do this, apparently people are having issues running a HDD/SSD combo with this machine:Lenovo IdeaPad Z710 59387520 17.3-Inch Laptop (Black )Can anyone who owns this laptop and done this confirm whether it works or not?

No, this model comes only with an HDD. SSD is possible, but you can either upgrade it yourself or order a custom-built system at Lenovo. The reason why you will not find an SSD in standard reseller configurations is because SSD adds up to the cost quite a bit, and this particular series is targeting a lower price audience. Since it doesn't have SSD, there is no TRIM feature either.

The old Compaq supported IDE drives, whereas this supports a SATA interface... this SSD may not fit into your machine, unless there are some converters or adapters available. However, even if the converters or adapters are there, the trasnfer speeds would be that native to the interface you connect this drive to. I think, in your case the best would be to use it as an external drive.

It is SATA-2 compatible. However it will run at slightly lower that 1/2 speed depending on board chip set, X58 being suggested as a good one. The other catch is that the current controller chip must be a SandForce controller chip since it handles many features on the drive. I replaced a 64GB SD Boot drive on my laptop with a 256GB SSD SP900 and ran a clean install of Windows 8 with no problems.

Yes it does support all of features. I'm using ssd cache right now. Works great. Just make sure you update to the latest BIOS update.

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

Yes, SD in drive bay is OK. There is also an mSATA connector on the mother board that can be used for SSD.

I do not think that it supports But try this link http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/solid-state-drives/solid-state-drives-520-series. html

Yes it does, though i think it's an HDD dependent issue and not related to the dock. I am using WD 5400rpm Green series , and energy saving features work like a charm, dunno about other drives, i think it shouldn't be an issue. Anyhow, the dock has gotten individual power and eject buttons for each of the drives in case u need manual control

Yep, T60's use Sata connections so you'll be fine there. Also, all Thinkpads use 2 rubber pieces that attach to each side of the HDD lengthwise. Since the SSD's tend to be thinner, you may need to attach the piece that comes with the SSD's to make them "thicker" and fit into these spaces where a HDD used to be.

Hard drive is only 5400, but Windows boots much faster than I imagined and the laptop comes with 2 drive bays, so you can throw in a SSD in it's SATA 3 port if you wanted.
