I am looking to upgrade the hard disk of my z5610, but need some advice

Having cleaned the dust from my cooling fins my PC is working well again (is not overheating) and I am considering upgrading the hard disk to a SSD. In looking online it seems to suggest that there is an SSD module already in the machine and I wondered if I will see much benefit?

 

Also the disks I see are all SATA, is that OK to be put into this machine?

 

Lastly I see hybrid SSD/HDD devices....are these worth considering?

 

Sorry for the dumb questions, but any help/insight is gratefully received.

 

Ian.

    You probably have 4GB of memory and you can upgrade that to 8GB. Asfar as the HDD, go to System Information/ components/Storage/ Disks and you will see the Model of your HDD. 

    See this video (ignore it's for video card upgrade) and you will know how to uograde it.
