So is this a Solid State Drive or not? In Amazon search results it's the cheapest SSD, but I don't see "SSD" in the product description...

No, it's not an SSD drive. When I bought mine I checked the price on 1Tb SSD drives on another site and they were $1,300. I think this a better backup drive when you consider the difference in price.

I'm sorry. I'm not all that up to date with SSD's. I'm not sure if it will work.

SATA 3. Checkout the review at Tom' Hardware. This is NOT the fastest SSD, but it gets my Server2008r2 up and running in half the time of a WD Enterprise drive.

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

It's a 320gb hard drive. The ssd refurs to the 16gb - 32gb sd card. It's on the asus website. But this guy doesn't tell you is that there isn't an operating system in the product that he is selling. All he told was he "had to listen everything from asus site". Good computer crappy seller

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

to you it looks like 1 drive. The firmware on the drive uses the ssd for the most active files. you don't control that. format the partition and load your os. i think you will like it! I am really very happy with the performance; it is very smooth and very consistent.

I haven't bought this, but it say on the box pictured thas it's an HDD not SSD.... The fact that kas said it was spinning inside proofs it even more.

I bought that computer for my son, he loves it, no problems. Unfortunately I don't know what a ssd drive is, nor does he, so I can't give you any info on that.

This card is a Sata 2 expansion card. From what I know, Solid state drives..(SSD) use Sata 3 tech. I don't think this is what you are looking for, and if it was, the speeds are far slower and limited should you find a way to get an adapter and make it somehow work. etherdose@gmail.com

I can not answer that question because I did not install the SSD. I brought it to the greek squad at Bestbuy. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Yes, it's a 256GB mSATA SSD(plugs into one of the mini PCI-e slots. Not accessible from the main panel under the system.

If you order it, check the model that arrives. Mine didn't have the SSD. I called Amazon and sent it back for one with the SSD. Waiting on the replacement...EDIT - its there, just not user accessible, see below:

I don't know the answer, I would suggest Dell should answer that. Or look for a model that has native solid state drive.

To be honest with you, IDE to SATA 3 - why? That IDE interface is sooooooo slow it would bottle neck the speed poential of this SSD drastically. I question SATA1 being used with SSD. Time to upgrade the PC.

Ordered 1.8 SSD on 1/15 and it hasn't shipped yet either. Amazon has shipped both 1.6 models (HDD & SSD), so I'm hoping the 1.8 SSD will ship before the weekend.
