See p. 69 of the Manual here:

This is not an easy procedure to access the hard drive compartment. 

 

SSHDs to me are a bit of a disppointment. Not a lot faster than a good 7200 rpm hard drive, but not a lot more expensive either.

Much better to have a full solid state drive, but also significantly more expensive.
