Does adding a ssd void the warranty?

Don't think so. The vendor I got mine from had doubled the factory ram and that didn't void the warranty. Was considering adding a 500gb ssd to mine too. Fully read warranty docs and I think you are good to change it.

I could be wrong, but it doesn't appear so. Check out this discussion: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1631920/party-hard-drives-server-warranties.html

That configuration is not offered from the factory as of the time of this answer, but you can upgrade the SSD and the RAM. There is a Youtube video currently available to show you how to do that. You will void your warranty if you open the unit to upgrade it. Also, you can add an SDHC card if you need more local storage space.

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

I bought that computer for my son, he loves it, no problems. Unfortunately I don't know what a ssd drive is, nor does he, so I can't give you any info on that.

Greetings - All OCZ Vertex series SSD's have a 3 yr. warranty, except for Vertex 4's which have 5 yrs. You'll want to visit http://ocz.com/consumer/support/tech and select RMA from the drop-down to open a support ticket. They will contact you with shipping instructions, and will arrange for a replacement if it's suitable. Here's the information on their SSD warranty: http://ocz.com/consumer/support/warranty. Best of luck.

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

I've had this laptop for 6 months and haven't had a single problem. However, anecdotal evidence is hardly what you need. If people are alleging component failures, it's probably true. Then again, that's what a warranty is for.Unrelated: Cross your fingers that you don't get the Sanforce SSD. I was lucky and got the faster SSD. According to the reviews it makes a huge difference in performance. You won't know which drive you get until you open the box.

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.

I asked them the same question and this was there answer.. "Yes, the original ASUS warranty will cover all parts that are original in the laptop. We also have our own 3 year warranty on the parts that we install. When performing an HDD upgrade, we retain the HDD that comes out of it and install the HDD or SSD you requested."

I did quite a bit of Googling before I tackled the SSD installation and settled on using EaseUS Todo Backup Free to get Windows, etc., cloned to the new drive. As far as I recall, I had no problems with the installation and cloning process, and I've not had any problems with the PC in the six months or so since I installed the SSD drive.

As far as I could determine it was a new drive. I do not recall at this time what the warranty terms were. The point became moot when I discovered that the hard drive was not my problem. The mother board was the problem.

According to razer's FAQ page about the blade: "Will I void the warranty by opening or upgrading my Razer Blade's components on my own? Yes, opening the Razer Blade will void your warranty. If there are any issues with your Razer Blade, please contact your local Razer System Support Team by viewing the links the left side of the page." Does not list if replacing the SSD by the user is possible though. Edit: If you go to the ifixit.com website you can find a tear down of the 2013 model. On that one the msata slots are pretty easily accessible (easy to replace/upgrade). The ram however looks to be soldered on. Hopefully the SSD is just as easy to upgrade on this one.

Yes. I installed one. There's a slot to add a second HDD but it would just put SSD in it.

The one I bought was brand new and had the 5 year warranty. I have since upgraded to an SSD drive and this is my primary back up that I put in a hard drive enclosure.

No. you will have to buy a separate 2.5 inch SSD drive along with it. I bot one for around 150$.
