Is that really a solid state drive?

I don't know because I'm not Techie -- but it is fast, quiet and very responsive. I'm happy with it.

Yes. And it is the closest thing to a silent computer as I have ever heard. Instant on. I push the button to turn it on and immediately get a log in.

Just checked one of mine (using a great tool called "Crystal Disk Info". Great Tool, just choose "Custom install" {not express} and opt out of anything else, it's just bogus ads)So the speed says 5400RPM and it says 8Meg of flash (RAM). The actual internal hard drive is: wd10jmvw-11ajgs1 Look it up for more specs on the drive inside. Enjoy!

No, it has been some time, this device did not do what I wanted it to do. Be able to connect a solid state drive as a a external hard drive.

It is a typo. The Hard drive, or more specifically the Solid State Drive, is 256 Gb total as the other two answers state.

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

Sure. it just a HDD with some free software from WD. No need to install this software or keep it on a HDD ;)

Yes, the drive is compatible and would probably boost your performance if employed as a boot drive.

It's an mSATA drive. Search for mSATA drives here on Amazon, larger capacities are available.

Yes, that is what we have ours connected to. You may have to reformat the drive by using disk utilities.

It should be, although I seem to remember it as formatted NTFS to start with. If your build supports standard SATA interface, you should not have any problems. It has been a very reliable drive for my Windows system. The only caveat is that an SSD does require periodic "garbage collection" by the operating system. You might want to check if your intended OS will support this. This would apply to any SSD that you may be considering.

no. this is strictly an external backup drive with usb as the sole interface to the computer.

I have never tried, but the Specifications would indicate that this drive is more than capable.

This drive is treated as a cache. All software that is loaded goes thru this cache. This isn't a traditional solid state drive that you have access to. Lot of people call this the new hybrid drive setup. Having a traditional hard drive for storage and then having all that information going thru the 24 gig solid state cache drive. Hope this helps.

Yes it is. They have since added a 500GB mechanical hard drive with a 16GB solid state "cache".

No it is SATA II judging from my current SSD speeds.I am using it now and wish I knew before purchasing...

No it is not. The connectors on those drives are different than laptop arrives.

You dont generally, the 80GB mSATA solid state drive is used by the OS for caching purposes. Or it could be configured to have the OS only installed on it not sure though. Can Seller clarify?
