    Hi experts,

    does anybody have bought the hdd version and replaced hdd with ssd so far?

    Everything ok or occured problems?

    What SSD have you used?

    Do I have to open the Vaio complete or is there a hdd bay at the back like usually in other notebooks?

    Special thanx!

    Jon

    Dimension6 had the pictures on his site before, but it looks like he may be revamping it. Here's his post: http://forum.notebookreview.com/son...-i7-official-owners-thread-9.html#post5980564

    It's quite easy to replace, just be aware of the screws (some hide beneath black tape) and don't rip the FPC. The entire top of the Z needs to be removed, no HDD bay. I think there are general posts on removing the keyboard but I have no time to search for those now...

    Dimension6 and I use Intel X-25Ms.
