Compatible SSD with Acer aspire v5-531/571 suggestion

[desouza420]

Hello people
my question is which hard drives are compatible with this laptop?
because i have never bought a hard drive for a laptop before and i know that hard drives for laptops are different than desktops
what are the specs that i should be looking for in order to fit in my laptop? ( with 7mm to 9.5mm spacer something like that?)
i am looking for an ssd 250 to 320gb

Not sure whether or not this true but according to Acer the HDD on the V5 Series is not user replaceable.

Are you able to access the drive from a panel underneath the laptop?

the thing is that i havent touched any hardware yet..i just want to buy the hard drive and then take it to the technician for the replacement because it will be cheaper this way instead of just giving him the laptop and ask him to get a new drive for it

"A small cover on the underside allows access to the system’s memory modules but maintenance on the notebook is otherwise impossible without significant disassembly."

"Due to the Aspire V5-531’s slim build, maintenance and upgrading of the notebook is virtually impossible."

"The hard disk cannot be accessed at all without removing the entire upper shell of the base unit. "


If you DO get to the drive, a 7mm is what you're looking for.

Anything is possible, if you take it apart far enough.

Degree of difficulty may make this concept cost prohibitive.
Take it to him for an estimate before you buy the drive and commit yourself.
