I've been out of the hardware game for a while. I'm looking to buy a new laptop, but even the gaming laptops mostly come with a 5400 RPM HDD. I've got my eye on some variant of the ASUS G75 but I'm wondering if I can replace the HDD with an SSD and if so, are there any particular models/connectors/interfaces I can and cannot use? Also, how easy is it to do?
update I purchased the g75vx-bhi7n11. Here is a screenshot of disk management. Device manager only shows one HDD.
Answer
Some Asus g75's use two hard-drives. If this is the case with your model i would buy one SSD for your OS and the other HDD i would leave for your games. Your computer uses 2.5" standard size internal hard-drives.If your model only has one hard drive, and large ssd's are expensive but games take lots of space, i would recommend a hybrid drive. http://www.seagate.com/internal-hard-drives/laptop-hard-drives/laptop-solid-state-hybrid-drive/
