Hello, I'm planning on purchasing this laptop because it will be perfect for what I will be doing with this(light gaming, school work, web). But the only thing I don't like is that it has a 1tb harddrive that runs at only 5400 rpm. So, if any of you know if it is possible to add a second drive(ssd), I would appreciate it if you could let me know because I can not find the answer anywhere. Thanks in advance if I have to make you tear apart your laptop.

You can try ebay. DVD Drive hard drive caddy. If not Amazon.

I think I saw someone saying they installed an msata SSD into it, so there's another option. I actually bought a variant of the V5 the other day but I haven't had a chance to tear it open to have a look yet, so I don't know for sure what's inside.

Every loud bang is a lesson learned.

Im on an Acer Aspire V5 552 right now and the hard drive is fine for me. Game loading times are a little bit of a wait compared to my 7200rpm desktop hard drive but not enough to discourage me.

 

If youre used to ssd speed though, you may have to replace it im unsure.
