Buy an SSD (e.g. Samsung 830 series), attach it via a usb cable to the PC, clone the HDD to the SSD, then remove the internal HDD and replace it with the SSD. That's it.</P><P></P><P>It is also possible to add a second hdd to the laptop, but at the cost of replacing the blueray drive with a optical drive hdd caddy, and requires fully opening up the laptop.</P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 15 Sep 2012 09:46:46 GMT https://community.sony.ro/t5/pcs-accessories/fitting-another-drive-to-a-vaio-laptop-sve1711x1eb/m-p/358916#M18507 vadik123 2012-09-15T09:46:46Z
