    Yup. It'll be a 2.5 inch drive already in it which can be swapped out for any 2.5" ssd you want to put in. You'll have to reinstall windows of course and the existing drive may well have a Toshiba recovery partition on it which the replacement drive won't.

    No, as far as i know it caches the most frequently read files so that they are accessed quickly, any files not cached will be accessed from the hard drive as normal, at normal speeds
