Is there an option to choose a SSD drive in the E1705 'customization' options?
That would confirm for sure, whether you can use them?
But even if there is the option... SSD's are still not worth their asking price IMO, for what little speed gain you'd see (if any) from using a 7200rpm drive :emotion-55:
OK... there are no moving parts in 'em. But that alone isn't worth the price difference, and nothing else is either - IMO.
Their capacities are still very limited too, compared to standard hard drives. 500GB 2.5" drives are available now (albeit still only 5400rpm - AFAIK?).
Equally... if your E1705 is still doing everything you need of it, why are you considering dropping ($/£?)1,300 on a XPS M1530 :emotion-3:
