This model does have 2 open mSATA slots so you can add 2 more to the existing 128GB mSATA drive.

Sorry, I don't understand the question. But if you add the Data Doubler, you can put your SSD in either the upper or lower slot. Or you could put a pair of SSD's in the machine (or a pair of conventional spinning drives for that matter). You're really just getting the parts you need to leverage the space that was left for a 2nd drive. I hope that helps.

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.

That truly depends on how much you are presently using on your 250 now. How much do you really need. That is a question that only you can answer. I downsized quite a bit and don't miss the extra at all. I do really appreciate the speed of the solid state drive.

I do not see the point of changing the one it has already for the one you mentioned, because both are hybrids and the hybrids have a flaw when we talk about proper speed. Change for a proper SSD (http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-MZ-7TD250BW-Solid-State-2-5-Inch/dp/B009NHAEXE/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1373543806&sr;=1-2&keywords;=samsung+ssd) than it will make a lot of difference on speed (boot up time and every day use). If you need more space, use an external drive for storage.

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

I installed the Samsung Electronics 840 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Notebook Kit Version in my HP Envy m6. I replaced a 750 GB drive with the 500 GB SSD. I made sure that the used space on the original drive was less than the max allowed on the SSD. The Samsung drive copy software worked flawlessly and I'm very happy with the performance after installing the SSD. I took the original 750 GB drive and installed it in a drive enclosure so I can use it for backup and extra storage if I need it.

Prelim answers are, yes for the ssd (that is how I run them), but, since one internal slot is loaded with the ssd, there are only three left for additional drives. So, I think you will be able to run 3 3-TB additional storage drives, plus the USB slots. The preferred HP solution will be to put a Small Sata SSD onto the motherboard for use of the OS. See Amazon: Lite On Plextor M5M 0.85-Inch 256GB mSATA Solid State Drive (M5M 256GB) The result is an ultra-fast OS and no loss of Mass-Storage.

you can't use a mSata SSD because there is no slot available. You can replace the stock Seagate SSHD 1TB + 8GB (HDD and SSD on the same 2.5" drive) by another 2.5" drive or you can add a caddy for a second 2.5" drive but it will replace the graphics card in the ultrabay.sorry for my english i'm from France i hope there are no mistakes !

The short answer is YES. The cost depends on how the current 16g is configured. If you have an empty memory slot, lower cost, if the current memory is configured to use all available slots then you have to do a replace and the cost is higher. FYI - make sure the SSD is one of the latest generations - mine wasn't so I ended up replacing it with a Samsung EVO PRO at more cost. Also, suggest very strongly you physically handle one of these if you are a long time Think Pad user.

I don't know. I am not an IT expert. I bought the item just like you did and I am having issues with the SSD in my laptop and assured it would work. It first would not read the operating systen after I cloned the SSD. Now it doesn't recognize the drive. I am a little ticked at the seller as I believe they knew there was a compatibility issue and lied to me.

You can leave the existing harddrive in it and add drives. Mine is one year older and has spots for 3 msata drives, plus the existing hhd. Rest is upgradeable also (video, wifi/bluetooth). I just upgraded my wifi to AC for $32, my msata 128g crucial drive was $97. This model has 4 ram slots the MSI site says 3 ssd slots.. has killer double shot lan/wifi. Turbo fan with just a button push. I love mine. I converted the new msata to the boot drive and use the existing for storage.

The ram is soldered down so that amount you get is what you're stuck with. You can upgrade the hard drive and replace it with a solid state drive which makes the device faster, specifically the boot up time. I bought this laptop for my mom and replaced the hard drive with a Samsung 840 SSD with no issues. A SSD will also keep internal temperatures lower since the memory is flash (like your thumb drive/usb stick) vs. a hard drive which has moving parts.

Unless they upgraded the kit, the adapter is USB2 not USB3. The adapter is mainly just used to clone the drive, so shouldn't be a major issue. Once you install the SSD as your primary drive, you can always use the adapter to reconnect your old drive, which normally will have a hard time saturating the USB 2 speed.

I have found no way to do that. I've searched the forums and no one has attempted this yet. You can upgrade the SSD, but need to get the cover off for that. At the same time, the stock RAM has been just fine for my enterprise computing needs. If you are looking for a hardcore gamer or CAD, then this isn't the machine for you.
