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?

Yes you can, unlike others I am not going to criticize why you wish to. That is your business. The two inside cages can be removed and you can either mount a ssd or 2.5 inch laptop drive behind the motherboard tray or you can use the two hot swap bays in the front to mount two ssd or 3.5" drives, or 2.5" laptop drives.

If I recall correctly, you can install an mSATA SSD into the motherboard, if you are using a standard 2.5" SSD you need to use an adaptor kit to mount it in one of the 3.5" bays.

no it doesnt come with a ssd, but it does have an extra hdd bay so you can buy one and install it.

No, It is a single drive and has a single parition. The drive is simply a hybrid method (SSD/HDD) of storing memory.

I haven't done that so I can't completely answer but really any SSD should work in it. This laptop really boots up fast compared to a regular HD. I suspect it is one of the new hybrids.

I installed a Samsung 840 products ssd and it works great. Also, the included ram is inaccessible, however there are 2 empty slots easily accessible to add up to 8 more gb.

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!

This computer have 2 hard drive slots, and one is empty when you get the computer, which means you can add an SSD without replacing the HDD.

Yes. You will need a SATA -&gt; USB adaptor cable to connect the SSD to a USB port. Seagate has free software called Disk Wizard that is available for free on their website - I think it is included with the drive as well. There are also free disk cloning tools out there such as AOMEI Partition Assistant.

Current I have a 125gb ssd drive. 500gb ssd was not available when I purchased it. I suppose you could put one in.

yes, you can. You can install a esata ssd. Or install a docking station and Disk Drive Bay Adapter with hard drive

If I remember from when I did mine, there are some screws that attach the SSD to the mounting tray. With HDDs it's a simple snap-in into the mounting tray. I have an SSD in mine, and I remember it being fairly simple.

Sorry we can't add SSD for you. We are selling the factory default as it is from MSI. You can add SSD by yourself.

Yes. It looks like you can put 2 drives in if you want. I suggest an SSD as your boot drive, and this one for storage.

You can install as many hard drives as you have available sata ports and power plugs. If you run out of bays, you can just velcro em to the interior of the case. I have an SSD drive for my OS and 3 2 terabyte storage drives. You can use the smaller bays for your SSD

I'm not sure. Perhaps you can just attach both drives and use windows to copy the files.
