Inspiron 17R SE
Hello there! I need some help. I intend to buy an Dell Inspiron 17R SE, nice piece of equip, so far so good. I am happy with the config. except the hard drive. I don't want to replace all the memory with SSD because I can not afford an SSD bigger than 256 Gb and that is not enough for my needs. Here comes the bomb! If it has
- 750 GB SATA Hard Drive (7200RPM)
- 750 GB SATA Hard Drive (7200RPM)
that means x2 Hard Drives. So if I buy an SSD, can I replace just one of the old Hard Drives so the new config would be 750 GB SATA Hard Drive (7200RPM) + 256 SSD, right? And if I can do this, is my investment good? Does it bring a big performance improve?
If so could you provide me with a tutorial video? (I could only find tutorials in witch they relapsed the only Hard Drive)
Thanks in advice!

Hi Miltzoaga,
I would suggest you to customize your Inspiron 17R SE with single SATA-2 Hard drive (750 GB SATA-2 @ 7200RPM) and then add another 2.5 inch 256 GB SSD drive after the purchase. Adding an SSD to the system will boost the performance of the system. You can use the SSD as a primary hard drive where you can install the operating system and applications. SATA-2 hard drive can be then added as a secondary drive. Following are the benefits of SSD drives:

In order to know how to replace both the drives, you may refer to the following video:
