SSD Drive hardwired?

hello

I would like to know if the SSD Hard Drive is hardwired
to the Motherboard?

Can the SSD Drive be removed and be replaced
with a 2.5" ide drive

thanx

 

Not easy but YES.

SSD is hardwired with ZIF flat cable/tape. 2,5" requires different connector. There is topic regarding installing 2,5" drive in AA1: viewtopic.php?f=43&t=637 and here: viewtopic.php?f=43&t=3087

 

hardwired? no, it is connected by a zif cable.
a 2,5 hdd won't fit, but a 1,8 hdd (PATA) that has only about 5mm height will do when you remove some plastic inside the AAO

 

- yes, hardwired - that means is connected via cable not f.e. Wi-Fi...

- it will fit. Look at the link to posts on this forum I provided. There are posts with photos...

 

LOL - show me a wifi connected HDD inside a Notebook. It is clear that his question meant connected by cable or soldered.

I would never recommend that. the 2,5 HDD will be under pressure because the of the space inside the A110. I don't think thats good for the HDD life time.
I opened my A110 and tryed to put a 2,5 hdd in, Acer did not change the case for the A150 without reason.

 

That's why in my previous post I said : "Not easy but YES " People are doing this kind of mod but you are right mentioning about pressure on HDD/mobo...

 

I gots a 100GB 1.8" for sale =) if you ever want one its in the For sale Section.
You will need to shave of the 2 knobs and one L Shape and sand down the Original Zif to fit the HD.
I am using the same on in mines. Fast Less heat Sound is minimal. =)

Even though this is a 1.8" HD Look at spacing left.
