Can the hard drive be replaced/upgraded? null

As of this post it really is impossible to get a better/faster SSD. This ASUS uses Samsung M.2 SM951 M.2 PCIe SSD. Up to 4x faster than a standard SSD. It is replaceable with 1 screw but again - there would be no reason to replace this for years and years to come. It is not the weak link of this unit by any stretch.

I'm not sure anyone would want to replace the Samsung SM951 512GB M.2 SSD. with Sequential Read speeds up to 2150 MBps. It's likely 4x faster than a standard SSD and 10X faster than a HDD. It has (1) SSD Slot but if you reallllly want to expand storage use the USB 3.0 or Thunderbolt III posts.

No, you cannot replace or upgrade the SSD of this model unit.
