    Hi,

    Does anyone here know if the I can add a SSD to the Samsung NP300E5X?
    I would really like to get a 60/120 GB SSD to complement the HDD but am not sure if I would be able to use them both? Is there some way I can check this?

    TIA

    You can replace the HDD with an SSD. If you want the additional storage provided by the HDD then there are standard adapters for fitting an HDD into the optical drive bay. This would require that you either get an ODD - USB adapter or a ready made USB ODD if you want to use the optical drive.
