I just sent an Email to the Dell Sales Dept., asking if it would

I received a reply that they got the Email, and would contact me
later.

They are probably going to tell you it will void the warranty.

I'm using a 7200 RPM SSHD on a 2011 Toshiba laptop with Windows 7 64
bit and I think it is awesome. It is much faster than my 2 year old
HP laptop running Windows 8.1 64 bit which has a better processor,
and 2 more GBs of RAM (4 vs 6)

This is the one I bought after *two* Toshiba hard drives failed. One
was under warranty when it failed the other one wasn't.

I paid around $100.00 for it in 2012 from Comp USA (now Tiger Direct).

No idea why Newegg is asking $157 for it.

Better price at Amazon.

Thanks Ron, I'm going to wait until I hear from Dell, and it looks like
it won't be today.

I'm not worried about the warranty, I got this computer on sale just
before Christmas, and it didn't cost that much.

It's good to know there is a big improvement with an SSHD.



You are welcome.
