This is what I'm looking for but I would like to slip in an SSD drive and throw out the hard disks, can you do that with this laptop?

Yes you can. here is a link to see what kind of SSD drive available for this laptop http://drivesolutions.com/cgi/shop/ug2store.cgi?command=listitems&kind;=hpl&pos;=0&t;ype=itemid&itemid;=hpl283 Good luck, this laptop totally worth it.

I haven't done that with this laptop, but have swapped a hard drive with an SSD on another HP laptop and it worked great. You just need to get an SSD hard drive that fits in a laptop, most of the more common SSD's do. You also will need to backup and restore the operating system from the existing disk to the new ssd drive.

I would think that's possible, though you'd be voiding your warranty. It might be more cost effective to look at the mercury elite thunderbolt 2-drive enclosure which you can buy empty, then add SSDs.

It has the same mechanical components as a "standard" hard drive, so skipping is a possibility. I wouldn't recommend dropping your laptop or jostling it around of course, but I would think that with the built-in SSD caching feature that skippage would be minimal, if not unnoticable.

It depends if your drive is solid state or mechanical. If SSD I would doubt it. If it's mechanical, meaning spinning hard drive then most likely. I cannot guarantee as I have never tried one from that model laptop. Good luck

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!

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

No reason why you shouldn't use this along side a standard SSD. I would use the SSD as the boot drive though.

You can but you will need a new copy of Windows (unless you manage to transfer your OS files to the new drive) and you may want a hot swap USB adapter if you want to transfer your files from the current HD to the new one or use it without throwing it in a desktop. The SSD should noticeable speed up your Dell, too. And look up tutorials on removing and installing laptop hard drives

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?

You should be able to replace the optical disc drive with a hard drive caddy. Else, you have to swap out your main hard disk. There is another mSATA slot (at least mine had it) that can fit a 25mm mSATA drive. I used a 50mm drive but I had to tape it down check this link for more details http://www.insidemylaptop.com/taking-apart-asus-q550lf-bbi7t07/ On a side note though, this laptop is kind of dated (first came out more than a year ago I think). Unless you're getting this for a really good deal, there might be better options. Still pretty sweet at ~600 though.

Unfortunately, only the newest line of thinkpads can handle msata drives. No it will not be compatible with this drive, however you can get a standard ssd drive which will perform much faster than a typical HDD. Something like this should work http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/ssd/ct120m500ssd1

I don't see why not. I would do a little research first though. Check around on Google to see if anyone else has put an ssd in one.

Unless your laptop has space for two hard drives its going to be a little more difficult. One option is of course backing up everything externally and re installing windows onto it, which is in my opinion the best way. But other ssds come with notebook transfer kits like the Crucial M4 which I would suggest over the kingston. But the transfer kit is just a usb to sata connector, so you plug it up to the ssd and into your laptop and there is software that goes along with it to copy everything.

Not to use as the main storage disk. You'll have to use a HDD with SATA hook ups.

Yes, you can replace the hard drive with a solid state. You cannot have both. There is only one slot for a hard drive.

You could but I would not recommend it due to the slow transfer speeds. Which is the largest benefit of owning an SSD.
