Yes, you will need a special took for the screw's to the housing. But you can buy that on amazon or any hardware store for electronics.

I added the ssd. Really improved the unit. Not sure about another optical drive

When I got it, I had bought a HDD drive, so I opened the bottom panel I could change it really easily. So yes in theory you can add an ssd drive.

I don't think that you can order it configured with an SSD, but it would be easy to purchase your favorite SSD and replace the HDD in the computer after it arrives. This computer has a lid on the bottom which makes it easy to access the 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

Yes, you can - either an m.2 ssd (harder to install) or a 2.5" ssd which is very easy to install.

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.

Absolutely! Solid state drive doesn't have moving parts like a traditional HDD. This allows much greater performance and greatly decreases risk of failure....

Yes you can. Check out this post for more in-depth discussion regarding this. Page 12 has a good, step-by-step process for replacing and installing a new SSD. http://forum.notebookreview.com/acer/724622-aspire-v7-482pg-9884-a.html

Yes. I suspect you will have to format the SSD. Use the enclosed CD with the kit.

Yes and No. You can order the SSD drive with a data transfer kit or order just the drive without a data transfer kit.

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

Sure, actually that is what I'm doing with my old HDD. You can do it with your SSD.

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.

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

Yes. I installed one. There's a slot to add a second HDD but it would just put SSD in it.

you can add any amount of storage you want, regardless of type. SSD = solid state drive, no moving parts; HDD = Hard drive disk, moving parts. They both use the same data connector and power cables, so either one will work however SSD's load data very fast but cost alot more $$ per GB. Most people load their operating system (OS) on an SSD for a fast boot time, then at the same time use a HDD to store all their data, ie games movies picture music. So if you want to use both i reccomend buying a small SSD to load your OS on, then use a HDD for mass storage
