    With enough $$$, anything is possible.

    What makes you think it won't work for you?

    Replacing the HDD buy SSD in he VGN-Z is easyer than replacing it in the VPC-Z. You don't have to take out the SSD from his encloser to do that, just take care when opening your vaio from the DVD side it is very eay to brake but the SSD fits very good. i already done it with my old VGN-Z890 replacing the 320 by 256ssd
    this the way to open your vaio vgn-z YouTube - Cenkaetaya Tips: Hard drive in DVD drive of Sony Vaio Z series - Howto

    i think he asked us howto replace the main hdd.
    AFSIK, it's 2.5 hdd and can be swapped by any 2.5 hdd.
    the main hdd is the hdd with label in video above, see at 1:52.
