Why 1TB of SSD is soooo cheap??? Is that an error and this laptop have 1TB 5600 rpm harddrive?

It isn't SSD, it's a SSHDD, a combination of a SSD and a HDD. faster than a HDD

You're right, I did get the 5400 rpm unit. I bought it in April and when I click on the link for the item I bought, it goes directly to the 7200 rpm unit for $98.45.But, the 5400 does just fine and I don't notice it any slower than my older 500 mb, 7200 rpm unit it replaced. WD Blue 1 TB Mobile Hard Drive: 2.5 Inch, 5400 RPM, SATA II, 8 MB Cache (WD10JPVT) (Old Model)

Usually the Reseller Kit costs more than a "Bare Drive" because it includes some extra items such as the "spacer" that's in this Kit. However, if they sell a ton of the Bare Drive model, then sooner or later they have to reduce the price of the Reseller Kit to get them out of the warehouse. This looks like a good buy at 149.99 since Intel SSDs usually command a premium price due to their reputation for reliability and a 5-year warranty.

I believe it's just to make windows boot faster so it's a storage for windows. You don't select where to store stuff. I pulled it out and replaced with a 256GB SSD and this laptop is fast.

Order 1 from amazon, make sure it is SATA. 1TB or less, I am using a 250GB laptop hard drive. GL Mike

Thanks for the update. Did you mean the WD 5400 rpm 1tb drive 8 cache.. Can't find it in 7200 rpm. Thanks

Thank you for the info, I'll take a look. By the way would you recommend a 1tb 5400rpm or a 750gb 7200rpm? Is the speed trade-off worth the space trade off? thank you

You could use a drive like this but what's the point - since the laptop already has a hybrid SSD/HDD set up. Additionally, I found this laptop to be slow and unresponsive until I installed an SSD drive (Samsung 840). I'd recommend just going with the largest SSD you can afford because it will really allow to use the rest of the laptop to its full potential. FInally, that particular drive is too thick at 9.5mm - there are mods to take some of these drives down to the required thickness of 7mm but again, what's the point - just get an SSD if anything.

This model has a 1TB 5400RPM HDD, but also has a free hard drive bay. The first thing I did was buy a 500GB Samsung 840 SDD to boost system performance. I reinstalled windows on the new SSD and only use the 1 TB drive for movies, music, and other media.

750GB. There is a similar model that has a 1TB drive, but no SSD. Somebody cut & paste the wrong stuff into the description.

I purchased this laptop last month and can confirm that the SSD is 16 GB, and the HDD is 5400 RPM.

This person was confused. You're right... SSDs cannot have a mesaurement of RPM since they don't spin. Furthermore, the ASUS EB1007P-B0040 comes with a conventional HDD and not an SSD, so unless they upgraded the drive to be an SSD, it should be a conventional 320GB HDD.

There is 160. Pay attention to speed... Sata3 SSD doesnt work on some notebooks (In my case a R3 Alienware only Sata2 works)

there are two hard drives in it which are not SSDs. i think they're both 1TB each, partitioned in a bunch of funky ways.i get a mild, constant shock from this thing when i rest my right wrist on the metal chassis, just fyi.

1TB SSD+HDD faster boot and photoshop work well! But Balance must Core i5 or i7 and 16GB Ram important work faster!! IF core i3 and 8GB Ram no possible!!

The Hard Disk Drive for this unit is 1TB. We have contacted Amazon to correct the listing.

I was asking myself the same question i think it would be better to run each os on a seperate SSD and add 1TB SATA for extra storage.. This is my plan. Total ~$205.
