    Hello everybody,
    I know that the Envy 15 packs in two 128gb 1.8 inch SSDs to arrive to a total of 256gb.

    I was wondering if this is also the case for the XPS 16?

    My idea was to buy the XPS with 128gb of 1.8" ssd which i will use for boot and programs, and then add a 1.8" HDD which toshiba makes in 320gb format.

    So firstly,
    Does the XPS us 2 1.8 inch SSD or a single 2.5 inch SSD?

    second,
    if it uses 2 1.8" SSDs is it possible to easily replace one of the SSDs with a 1.8" hdd? (easy to remove cover with a couple screw or is it a complex operation?)

    thanks a lot

    Thanks for the quick reply.

    Guess I will go with the HDD then, at least untill SSDs become cheaper and with more capacity.
