    I was thinking of buying TZ with 100GB 4200rpm HDD because the one with SSD is too expensive for me. That biggest question is that whether I'm able to replace my HDD to SSD in the future when I can afford one. If yes how can I replace it? Thanks

    Somebody on this forum wrote a guide on this. Just make sure the SSD you get has a zif connector, and it is a 1.8" drive.

    I read through all the replies on the thread but still not sure whether that one who wrote the guide is replacing HDD with SSD or replacing SSD to SSD. And I'm not sure whether a HDD Sony TZ has zif connector or not

    I'm 90% sure that the HDD in the TZ has a zif connector. Portable One will probably be able to give you a definite answer, if you're willing to call them.

    I see. That means the SSD I'll buy in the future will fit perfectly in the HDD slot? Thanks again for the reply
