    lol is this a joke? if not, just put the new elmcrest intel ssd in, i think the only way a 3.5 inch drive will fit in is if you take out the optical drive, and it probably would be too thick for the laptop's back plate.

    Obviously a joke, I just found it looking to see if a TB SSD existed. Does anyone know if like those 10,000RPM drives would bring any performance increase? Im currently using a 5400RPM so Im sick of slow hard drives. I saw like a 10,000RPM for a decent price on newegg

    Does it affect battery to have it running at a faster rate? (Im not too smart with hard drives. All I know is the RPM is how fast its running at)

    And besides that a laptop won't provide the 12V line that they need.
