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

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

You can swap it out for a SSD, but just make sure you have a copy of all the drivers and some back-up discs of the OS.

There's no mSATA port in external chassis. Inside the laptop it should have a mSATA bracket to install mSATA SSD. We can verify with MSI next Monday.

I haven't done that so I can't completely answer but really any SSD should work in it. This laptop really boots up fast compared to a regular HD. I suspect it is one of the new hybrids.

I can not answer that question because I did not install the SSD. I brought it to the greek squad at Bestbuy. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

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.

I haven't messed with the hdd yet, so I don't know about installing a ssd. The 2 blank memory slots are very easy to access and you can quickly plug in more RAM.

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.

As long as you don't change the motherboard, you're OK. I have changed out both my laptop and desktop (OS) hard drives to SSDs with no problem.There is a Microsoft Licensing FAQ on this --- it's under Refurbished/Used PCs.http://www.microsoft.com/OEM/en/licensing/sblicensing/pages/licensing_faq.aspx#fbid=ZeL6n4MrK8a

even if it is possible, i wouldn't do that, the ram and processor are soldered, and is probable that they don't match the electronic and physical charactaristics of the laptop's mainboard, lost of warranty, etc... maybe a better idea for improving performance is change the mechanical hard drive for a ssd, it's effective, quicker, simpler and cheaper

Sure you can, but why would you? This drive is ideal for a laptop that has ONE HDD slot. For a desktop, you would be better off buying a 256GB SSD and a 1TB storage drive, for around the same price as this. The reason for this, is that unless you install EVERYTHING on the 120GB SSD partition, the 1TB side will continually spin up to access something and will wear out much faster than if you just had a separate storage option.

yes, you can. You can install a esata ssd. Or install a docking station and Disk Drive Bay Adapter with hard drive

SSD would fit on the thunderbolt connector. Not sure about opening the drive though

Yes sir you can. Although this is possible, working with the internal hardware of any laptop can be sensitive work due to the obvious, you don't want to harm your machine! There are two courses of action I would suggest regarding this matter. 1) Bring your machine with your additional purchased SSD to a local PC workshop near you and get an estimate from them on how much it would cost to have a professional install (I would not send my machine out of state via mail to have it worked on due to shipping fees, insurance etc... 2) Research the matter online through you tube videos and forums and such, until you feel comfortable with the process and idea of doing it yourself (this is NOT an impossible feat by a long shot!) Here is one such video -&gt; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUJ7r2Ir4GU Of course there are other methods of action but these are the two that I would suggest.

Notebook drives are pretty standard, you will have to swap the bezel though, really easy to do.

Yes you can as you have a slot for it. You will need to clone over the existing install or reinstall Windows. There are also USB enclosures and normal SATA adapters.
