I'm planning to buy the ASUS ROG GL551JW-WH71(WX) from Newegg before Black Friday sales are up. It comes with a 1TB 5400 rpm HDD and (as I understand) no SSD. I would like to upgrade it to include some form of SSD.
The problem is, there doesn't seem to be a slot for an SSD, unless I remove the disk drive (which I like but could remove after I install some games). In order to get the boost in performance, should I get a dedicated SSD (128GB or so) for startup in addition to the hard drive, or would replacing the HDD with an SSHD still have the same speed boosting effect? (And if I were to get an SSHD, which one would you all recommend?)
Finally, does it really make much difference if the HDD is 5400 rpm or 7200 rpm? I can upgrade if necessary, but I don't know what to do with the hard drive it will come with.
