Does anybody know if you can add a second harddrive or SSD ? seems like there are SATA connectors but i read somewhere it might not have power connect

Looking over the User guide on Lenovo's site, I don't believe you can. It does not show enough room within the case to add a second HDD or SSD. That being said, you could always use one of the SATA to USB 3.0 conversions sold here on Amazon and use your old HD as an external drive.

I didn't use an SSD adapter. I attached it directly to the mounting bracket that comes with the case. There's a 3.5 drive directly below it. I used a few wire ties to keep the two sata cables together, and sort of folded them along with the power cable beneath the two drives. It's not exactly the neatest option, but the cables are out of the way at least.

Sorry it took me a few days I had to find time to take mine apart and make sure. It does not have the connector on the motherboard. The pins to solder one on are there if you're handy with a soldering iron, but this should only be attempted if you have done this kind of thing before. A much easier, much safer way to add an SSD is to purchase an "Ultrabay hard drive" dock from e-bay ($20-25) and then you can swap out a hard drive or the extra graphics card when you need each one.

mine had two parts....the usb connection to the short part of the drive connections and a Model sy-002-5-12 power ac-dc adapter with the sata power to drive part of the connection. each is connected to the drive separately.

I'm pretty sure that you can replace the 128GB SSD with a larger MSATA SSD. I have not done it myself, but I opened up the laptop and saw the MSATA that's in there. I didn't see any place to put an additional internal drive.

1- there are 2 internal HDD slots, and you could use one of the two external 5.25" slots to add another; 2- cable management is something you implement (I recommend twist-ties for SATA cables) once your drives are in, as you'll determine where this non-critical aspect is needed; 3- the fact that it can use a standard ATX supply is a big plus for upgrading ... good luck with your system build :)

I removed the cover today on mine to replace the HDD with an SSD and add another mSATA. BE FOREWARNED: To remove the case you have to break a "Warranty Void" sticker. Once inside you will find *nothing* can be upgraded replaced without having to completely disassemble the system; I decided to not attempt it. I've been building/upgrading systems for 20 years and the internal design of this system was complex enough to scare me off. The only thing that appears to accessible is the HDD but I could figure out how it was mounted and wasn;tabout to tinker about and make a $2K paperweight :)

It already comes with an ssd drive. If you want one more you would have to replace the DVD/cd drive

This computer have 2 hard drive slots, and one is empty when you get the computer, which means you can add an SSD without replacing the HDD.

If your desktop machine is the same as mine, you can add another drive in the removable slot. It must be a sata drive.

Not without an enclosure. Power and SATA 6 connector (standard SATA cable is fine) are still needed. Plus the adapter for the smaller unit since it will not fit into a standard hard drive bay But the possibility is there, although you are not using for what the unit is best suited. Speed on a laptop or desktop.

Not an official SAMSUNG product, someone has switched out a few items and onboarded an overclocking CPU and the SSD hard disk to make it viable.Question is what about power consmption / heat ?

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.

You can buy this with SSD already included. This brand has dozens of models in this size of every possible option and I have one like this with SSD.

There is a separate power plug. It has a sata interface and a power connection on the back.

I installed a Samsung 840 products ssd and it works great. Also, the included ram is inaccessible, however there are 2 empty slots easily accessible to add up to 8 more gb.
