Upgrades

SSD

The computer supports a standard 2.5" hard drive, as well as an mSATA drive. TODO: find out the physical size of the mSATA drive.

The following inexpensive SSD works well:

Kingston SA400S37 120G Stock Photo.jpg $19.99 -- Kingston 120GB A400 SSD 2.5" SATA 7MM 2.5-Inch SA400S37/120G

RAM

Corsair CMSO8GX3M2C1600C11 Stock Photo.jpg $44.99 -- Corsair CMSO8GX3M2C1600C11 8GB (2x4GB) 1600MHz PC3-12800 204-Pin DDR3 SODIMM Laptop Memory 1.35V

The maximum RAM specifications:

  • 8GB of RAM max (2x4GB)
  • industry-standard 204-pin
  • unbuffered non-ECC PC3-12800 DDR3-1600 MHz-compliant
  • 1.5 volt DDR3-SDRAM SODIMMs (not 1.35V)
  • CAS latency 11 DDR3 1600 MHz (11-11-11 timing)
  • 512-Mbit, 1-Gbit, and 2-Gbit non-ECC memory technologies
  • SODIMMs constructed with x8 and x16 devices; SODIMMs constructed with x4 SDRAM are not supported
