Do you already have the Pangolin, or are you waiting to order it. It should work just fine, but if you haven't ordered it yet, then I would recommend ordering one of those with your system instead.

No, I haven't order yet, I'm still considering getting the Intel Series 510 120GB preinstalled; now that I know 6gbps is utilized (I'm the Josh Dye on FB asking you questions, I must be a pain in the ***)

Don't worry about it. Let us know if you any other questions.

As soon as I get it I'm going to do a clean insall anyway.
If I order a 310 120BGB SSD, I save almost $60 and I can use the included HDD in a can use the included 250GB HDD in a USB2 case as a backup drive.

But, if I get the SSD included it will be 2x as fast and it will be less work...


How much is required to replace the HDD?

All you really need to do is remove the cover and pull the drive out.
