No it's not a standard msata, it's a custom interface and form factor. Similar to the MacBook Air but not compatible with that.

If you mean put more memory on the hard drive, you can't. I asked the sales people where I bought it from.

hello, Asus told me that I can upgrade to 256gb ssd. I am planning to upgrade in the future when the ssd have a better price. I think it's a good buy

If you clone the drive then you are moving everything from the host drive. If you have the OS DVD then you could do a clean install and have just the OS on the ssd

Hello Pedro, you can install any current SSD size, I would recommend 128 or 256 GB better, thanks.

No. You would want to look for a SATA III SSD (Solid State Drive) if you want to upgrade your SL410 to solid state. Be happy, they are cheaper than the mSATA or m.2-SATA!

I can confirm that the machine can upgrade to 8GB. The OS is running 64bit so you may want to upgrade to 8gb. Replacing the RAM requires a near full teardown of the machine. See chrome://system under meminfo for more info. The SSD is soldered on the board and cannot be upgraded with consumer parts.

Yes, it is upgradeable to 240/500GB M2 SSDs, but you need to void the warranty (as it requires modification of the internal hardware and opening the computer) and requires some configuration from the HDD, so it is possible a clean install of Windows may be required after modification to accomodate the new SSD drive.

It depends in which software that you use, I believe there is some paid software that can clone only the OS but as always it is recommended to just reinstall straight onto the SSD

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.

all you need is a data transfer cable, you can get it anywhere or just order a kit (cable and ssd) from crucial dot com. it clones your hard drive to your new ssd. look it up on youtube.

Absolutely. Use Carbon Copy Cloner and that will work great. However, I would just take the old HDD and stick it in a drawer as a backup drive, get another SSD and use it as external super fast storage.

You can, but it's not so easy because you have to open the case. Also, this S7 has two SSD drives, each of 64gb, that are joined by the in hardware RAID. So, you will probably need to rebuild this raid once the SSDs are changed.

You can actually!The HDD bay has room and screw holes for another SSD drive right on top of the first!

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.

Yes those are all pretty universal these days so by all means feel free to upgrade to SSD :) Enjoy :)

Do you also have the Windows 7 Installation software? If so then you could install Windows 7 to the SSD and then upgrade to Win 8 using your upgrade software. You can also clone your drive to the new SSD using cloning software, like Acronis or the one included with the drive. Otherwise, you will need to use a Windows 8 CD that allows a full, clean install.

Upgrading is possible. I just changed my HDD to an SSD. now it is super fast. Memory upgrade is also possible. though apple recommends only upto an 8GB, people have proved that it can really be upgraded to a 16GB. 128 GB SSD cost 50+ USD where as an 8GB(2x4) cost nearly 70 USD or less.

Yes you can. You can add the SSD to the drive bay from the front of the system which is pretty awesome. I tried the hard way and well failed because of the OS i was trying with. But since then I've left the OS on the main drive which is fast... And everything that's important gets installed on my SSD and it's fast.
