Can you tell me more about this?:
- I think that there is room to install a 3.5" drive in the computer. (The computer came with the required mounting screws). This is a BIG bonus: it provides a bunch of interesting options. So it would be reasonable to add an SSD or HDD. This would provide sufficient space for leaving Win 10 and installing Linux on the added drive. This added load might shrink battery life.
Did you mean a 2.5" drive? 3.5" sounds unlikely. If this is the Asus E402SA, then according to http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/compatible-upgrade-for/ASUS/e402sa it is possible to install a 2.5" 9.5mm drive in it. I highly doubt it could handle a 12.5mm. https://www.ipc-computer.eu/notebook-ersatzteile/asus/notebook-e-serie/e402s... also says a 9.5mm drive can go in it. -- Len Sorensen
