HDD replacement for a normal SSD

HDD replacement for a normal SSD In regards to HDD, can't just the stock one be unplugged and normal SSD plugged instead of it? Rather then soldering on a PCIE slot, which are a pain to find.

Yes, you can replace the HD with a 2.5" SSD. You need to make sure it supports TRIM for better performance.

"Don't even try it.

I had a 27"" model and to save a few hundred bucks I was going to buy a 500GB SSD to install myself. The repair itself is super risky, removing the screen causes cosmetic problems around the edges (the black gets scrapped off and it looks scratched), removing the screen without breaking a cable is also tricky.

I would just pay the extra for the SSD model."

"Does anybody knows if you the original drive has an internal temp-sensor (so if replaced by an SSD you must install SSD-FanControl as well) ?

Or does a SSD just works without stressing the fan?"
