Does this laptop have SSD OR HDD? I heard that SSD's are faster.

I cannot answer this question, however, I have a Acer Representative phone number who maybe able to answer that question from a professional level. Number: 1-254-298-4000, fax number: 1-254-298-4147. I hope this will be helpful!

It says 500 GB HDD. I don't know what that means so I hope that helps. We both have Acers and love the 17 inch screen and the graphics. we also enjoy windows 7.

500 GB HDD - Don't ask me what that means. I hope that is the question you are asking. It is on the sticker on the inside of the machine. We both love our Acers and the windows 7

This computer does not have SSD (solid state hard drive) it has a mechanical standard hard drive.but I do like this computer it does run cool.

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.

Of all the laptops I have owned, this is by far the coolest. I can sit in front of the TV for hours and not notice much heat generation. I am sorry I don't know how to answer the SSD vs HDD question. I love this computer. It is supersonic fast and the different positions ( i.e. Pad vs laptop) are so handy.

I upgraded both the ram and the hard drive to a solid state drive.But bewarned it takes ddr2 ram which cost twice as much as ddr3 ram.Also I recommend getting this macbook because it heats up very fast and barely can run a 1080p YouTube video.You're better off saving you money for a better laptop.

This is not an SSD drive. It is still a standard hard drive. But what it has is that at boot up it has an SSD system that boots up. This is where it's a little faster than regular drives. Plus it memorizes your most used apps so it keeps them in memory in order to start them faster. This happens with usage.This in general without going into full technical details.

I use my ssd just for the OS and programs. Data storage such as music and documents I do one an HDD I have both installed internally.

It is a laptop. There is a 128gb solid state drive ( ssd ) Newer,faster,better .

It has both, the ssd is a cache drive which makes it boot and respond much quicker.

Hi!SSD - for System, programs and games (because it's much more quick)HDD - for photos, videos, music, other.

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..

The laptop has 2 ram slots, i just put in mine 2x4gb crucial memories and works like a charm, before i had only the 4 gb original hynix memory in it. Also you have 2 hdd drive bays which is a rare thing into a laptop especially at this price so you can easily put in a ssd drive to speed up the system. @Lemas I don't know what problems are you experiencing but I had 0 problems with it I used windows 8 and i just upgraded to 8.1 without any problems and i am using it for more than 6 months now and is my main work laptop so it runs almost 24h/day.@Rudy yeah having a big touch pad you can easily move the cursor around so i suggest you use a mouse and shutdown the touch using FN+F7 keys.

Yes, it does come with both the SSD amd the HD! Really improves on the boot times. I don't know about the layout, though it's likely not possible...

Shure, all laptops have 2.5 inches hard drives. Make shure your's has one 2.5 hdd before buying the ssd

No idea -- it ships with two SSD drives that equal roughly 250GB of storage. I was wondering that too when I bought it, but it seems that whoever wrote the page made a mistake.

HDD 5400 rpm, but you can probably a SSD if you want. Either way the computer processing speed is great to begin with. Mine is very fast.

I'm not sure... I sold it and shipped it two weeks ago. I don't remember it having SSD specifically

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