does this laptop has an SSD drive?

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.

No. you will have to buy a separate 2.5 inch SSD drive along with it. I bot one for around 150$.

Yes sir, it does. Actually I am using it with a 256GB KINGSTON SSD drive. I have not had any problem until now.

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

Hi, yes it does. In fact mine died only one year after I bought it due to overheating. Couldn't get warranty replacement (due to the fact that went down a week after the warranty expired). So I wouldn't recommend this laptop at all. Nor this one o any other Toshiba laptop.

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.

This laptop has a 24 GB SSD built in to give you a very quick boot..mine takes 5 - 7 seconds to boot.. 7-10 mins is really a long time..

Not sure if they use the 3.5 or2.5 laptop drives. Try the SSD tho. They work great..

Hi Blake. The 120GB drive included is a regular laptop SSD. You can add an mSATA drive later if you run out of storage though.

ok 2 points .... first i cant answer your question as i bought teh machine for my son at school. but I can tell you that one of the selling points wa that this laptop had an SSD and traditional HD. so not sure why you feel the need to replace onboard HD with another SSD. but i would imagine its pretty simple to do so

Yes. Very good computer. Hard drive upgraded to SSD and it became very fast.

I have not seen it with strictly a ssd hard drive. I will say this though..... It works similarly to an ssd. things that you would want to operate very quickly ( like your operating system) are stored in the ssd portion, while data that doesn't need to accessed quickly/often are stored on the hd portion. Personally, I think it works very well and I'm quite pleased with it. Plus, you're not stuck with the crap Windows 08 OS. Additionally, it makes the laptop cheaper by operating the way it does. A co-worker of mine has a custom built laptop with much better hardware (including the ssd hard drive) and it's not terribly faster than this one.

Yes. It is installed the same way as a hard drive. You can even install both of them if you want. But note that, the ssd is for more speed at saving but have less memory. Hope this could help. Have a good day

Hi! Mine actually does have ssd, 128 gb, not much but enough to store Windows 8 (by default) and Ubuntu 14.04 (the OS that I really use) in two partitions, and it works well; the rest I store it somewhere outside the hard disk (external hard drive, google drive, etc).

No, it has a 5400 rpm drive. Really slows down otherwise great performance.
