Short answer, yes. Long answer...

I quick and dirty google search tells me the base model comes with 128GB SSD and 1TB HDD. The MSI site mentions something about raid + HDD, but it doesn't tell me how many 2.5" bays it does have. However it does have two M.2 ports free for M.2 SSDs and you can always swap out the BluRay drive for another HDD/SSD in there.

I can't guarantee the accuracy of this info, as it was a very quick and dirty google search before I go to bed. Edit: and I never did get to see a picture of its insides to know exactly how many ports are available in there. Maybe I should've searched a little longer...

    Or, I also heard that if you use flash memory, it can act as more "RAM" at least windows tell me when I stick a flash drive into it.

    It can act as a swap drive but that isn't more RAM, it's slooow.

    Software update might improve it.

    Or maybe someone will make like Emulation Station for it or something?
