Can the HDD be replaced with an SSD?

Yes...and I did. Fully boot in less than 3-4 sec! Lightening fast, and powerful.

Yes, I actually just ordered a 500 GB drive for mine and will be doing it as soon as it arrives. There are several "how-to" threads on the web that details the steps required. My only caution would be to take your time, take plenty of pictures along the way and keep the old drive in a safe place so you always have a backup. The new SSD will not only shorten your boot time to seconds it will also dramatically increase your battery life. Good Luck.

Yes. There are some videos on YouTube about swapping the hdd for an ssd one and even videos where you can take out the DVD drive and buy a mount that is the perfect match for a second ssd.

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.

Theoretically, it can be used to replace your curren HDD. I don't know the exact specs of your machine but most current generation computers should be able to use SSD's. I would check with Lenovo too - you might void your warranty if you open your machine or worse, you might break your machine if you improperly disassemble it while replacing the HDD.

Yes. It is installed the same way as a hard drive. You can even install both of them if you want. But note that, the ssd is for more speed at saving but have less memory. Hope this could help. Have a good day

Yes of course; You would need to install the SSD with a SATA cable and cut the wire ties for the bundled wires to connect the SSD. Once connected use the Avatar Recovery Disk and F9 to install the OS. Once installed you can format the other drive.

Yes, provided the amout of data to be cloned/transferred from the HDD does not exceed the capacity of your SSD.

You can actually!The HDD bay has room and screw holes for another SSD drive right on top of the first!

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.

The new drive MUST have at least the same capacity as the original drive. In other words, the SSD drive must be equal to 300GB or more for it to wor, regardless of how much data you have on the original drive.

Hook up the SSD to the PC. Restart the PC with the CD that came with it in the CD drive and boot from it. Start the cloning software and clone your current HD to the SSD. Unplug/remove the old drive or change setting in BIOS to tell the PC to boot from the SSD if you want to keep the old drive installed.

A solid state drive could be fitted to replace the existing hard drive. These are currently very expensive, particularly if you wanted to replace the existing 1 Terra-byte disc. There would not be room to fit an additional drive. Of course, you could always use an external SSD, utilising one of the many the USB ports.

Yes. But the capacity will be a little smaller and SSD drives a alot more expensive than disk drives. So you can upgrade it if you wanted to.

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.

You can purchase with or without the HDD or SSD drive. I orrdered without a drive and install my own 250GB HDD.

changing the drive is easy, any SSD SATA would do. I would go about 250g or bigger if you can afford it. Don't forget to clone from the original to get all the proper drivers .

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
