I just sent an Email to the Dell Sales Dept., asking if it would
cause any problems if I replaced the 5400 RPM hard drive with a
7200 RPM hard drive. I also asked if they would recommend a hard
drive.
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.
I received a reply from Dell. It looks like I can't put a DVD drive in
this computer, but I can replace the hard drive.
Here is the reply:
HI,
Thank you for writing Dell US sales,
I would be happy to assist you.
For hard drive, yes you can change the hard drive to 7200 RPM.
And for the optical drive, you can connect external optical drive
through USB.
Here is the link for the external USB optical drive
