does it have a second hard drive slot? I would like to instal a ssd hard drive

No. I believe you can purchase an adapter for the optical drive location and place a second HDD in there. This will replace your current optical drive of course, so you would have to decide if that's something you can live without or you could purchase an external optical drive.

You can add up to 2 mSATA drives which are SSD technology, they just go into specific mSATA slots instead of a regular SATA slot.

When I used the software that came with the SSD, it only copied the data. You can set up a second partition with a partition program after your done.

No, it does not. I also tried a 3rd party HDD-to-SSD software migration tool yet it lacked adequate features to handle my situation.

It looks like there are slots for SATA 1.0 and SATA 2.0 with one being used by the currently installed hard drive. So there is an available slot to plug one in but I seriously doubt another internal hard drive would physically fit in the case. I would just add an external drive. I have two hooked up to mine :).

No. You have to replace the drive with a tray that holds the second hard drive.

no, it does not have a SSD, but instead it has a 1TB SSHD with a 8GB Nand Flash which is fast enough. But if you are into intense read/write operations you can buy the samsung evo 840 SSD, they are great. I did it on the very next week of the laptop arrival.

In the hard drive bracket. Most SSDs come with a bracket to fit in normal Hard drive slots.

No it does not. You would have to order one specifically for an SATA drive.

Sorry it took me a few days I had to find time to take mine apart and make sure. It does not have the connector on the motherboard. The pins to solder one on are there if you're handy with a soldering iron, but this should only be attempted if you have done this kind of thing before. A much easier, much safer way to add an SSD is to purchase an "Ultrabay hard drive" dock from e-bay ($20-25) and then you can swap out a hard drive or the extra graphics card when you need each one.

I'm not sure... I sold it and shipped it two weeks ago. I don't remember it having SSD specifically

no it doesnt come with a ssd, but it does have an extra hdd bay so you can buy one and install it.

No there is not. I'm not an expert in hardware but I believe noticed that there is a slot for cache memory but it is empty. It fits the msata mini half-size ssd by the looks of it.

This is the NP940X5J-K02US (touchscreen) version. It CANNOT be upgraded by adding an additional SSD. The 2nd SSD slot is clearly labeled as such but lacks the soldered socket. Your only option is to replace the original SSD. Shame on Samsung for not including the 2nd SSD socket on this model.

Yes, it does come with both the SSD amd the HD! Really improves on the boot times. I don't know about the layout, though it's likely not possible...

I did add a second hard drive, but I am no pro. The metal plate blocking the slot is a knock out, so I got pliers and ripped it (gently,) out. I had to go buy a cable (I bought a longer version of the cable that attached the drive to my old computer) and simply installed it in the same way my old drive was installed. I may simply have gotten lucky. I remember an old conversation about making one drive a slave to the other, but I didn't do anything like that, and the drives are both working, so maybe I did get lucky. You are better off talking to a real tech guy, and someone who is 20 years younger than I am.

None as far as I know of. I purchased the 480 gig version and all that came with it was the SSD and an adapter to make it fit in a 9mm drive space if needed. The Crucial website sells software to assist in installing the SSD so check it out to see if that will help.
