Is it possible to upgrade my hard disk to a SSD? and if so which SSD would be better?  Is there a particular type of SSD for each computer like RAM's (DDR,DDR2,DDR3).

I thought he did answer. Yes you can take out the hard drive and replace it with a 2.5 inch SATA SSD. The Evo 850 is an example of that type of SSD. Your warranty may be at risk by opening the laptop to do the upgrade, however. If you want instructions let us know and you need to plan in advance a means to get software onto the SSD.

Hi,

 

Yes, you can replace HDD with SSD and Samsung 850 EVO series now is a hot cake in terms of price/performance. The following article may help you with the process
