Can I install an additional SSD AND 1TB HDD to this? How easy is it to do so?

emily,Yes you can. Installation of drives is not difficult and our friendly Customer Service Team is happy to assist you, if you like. We can be reached toll-free by phone at 855-490-2569 or by email, at: support@cybertronpc.com. Please reference 'DY44'. Also, the proper installation of any component that does not damage the system will *not* void the warranty on the computer.

Np, pretty simple. I believe there is room for 4 bays total, with the additional front plates supplied. Just keep in mind u might have to upgrade your power supply

I installed both. Installation is pretty easy. You need SATA cables for each harddrive. There are 4 or 5 available SATA slots on the motherobard. You will need to snip a few ties to gain access to power cables, but that is not too difficult. My computer has a 450 watt power supply so there was enough power for the two drives. I did not like the plastic mounting system for the harddrives, so I went out and bought some screws. That was a little bit of a challenge, but found them at a computer repair store. Both drives are working well.

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.

Depends. You can replace the Hdd, with a ssd, or you can add up to two msata drives and leave the Hdd. I replaced the Hdd with a ssd, and added a msata drive.

1- there are 2 internal HDD slots, and you could use one of the two external 5.25" slots to add another; 2- cable management is something you implement (I recommend twist-ties for SATA cables) once your drives are in, as you'll determine where this non-critical aspect is needed; 3- the fact that it can use a standard ATX supply is a big plus for upgrading ... good luck with your system build :)

Yes, the install offers an upgrade or to do a full (clean) install which is what I did. If you're putting an SSD and hard drive in to your machine, don't connect the hard drive until after the install if you want the OS to be on the SSD. The installer can get confused if you have more than one drive available.

Sorry we can't add SSD for you. We are selling the factory default as it is from MSI. You can add SSD by yourself.

Yes. But the capacity will be a little smaller and SSD drives a alot more expensive than disk drives. So you can upgrade it if you wanted to.

So easy. Just remember buy a 3.5 sata hdd, because the 2.5 is not compatible

This is only an enclosure for a drive. You can install whatever size drive you desire, but none is included.

You can swap it out for a SSD, but just make sure you have a copy of all the drivers and some back-up discs of the OS.

Yes you can. I used this to upgrade from a SATA 128GB SSD to a 256GB SSD. You install the software, connect the new target SATA drive with the adapter, select the partition to copy and let it run. Took me 45 minutes to do this. I then shut down my PC, swapped drives and restarted the PC and I was back in business.
