Any ssd should fin on the extra Sata 3 Bay, I'm sure the 840 from Samsung and the 530 from Intel fit for sure, just check is a fairly new ssd.

Any sata drive should be fine, and all of the versions are backwards compatible with the sata version. You just have to screw it into the caddy on your current drive, but if you don't need that much space look at a 128 GB solid state drive sdd at 2.5 inches. Make your lap top faster on the cheap.

In the hard drive bracket. Most SSDs come with a bracket to fit in normal Hard drive slots.

there are 3 kind of SSD today; 2.5" form factor 7mm high or 9mm high these are for basic laptops these have a 2.5" case; 1.8" form factor for ultrabooks these look like RAM memory. It sounds like since your width is 2.8" (u probably measured wrong); you should get a 2.5" form factor which is the most popular one

You cannot put one in there, I suggest you buy a USB 3.0 HDD case to make an external HDD. I also suggest that you put a SSD (Solid State Drive) in replacing the HDD. This will increase the speed of loading Windows 8. When you buy the SSD, you want to put the drive that is in there in the external HDD Case. 128GB Samsung Electronics MZ-7PD128BW 840 Pro Series 2.5-Inch 128GB SATA 6Gbps Solid State Drive this is the best one you can buy for your system. Windows 8 loads on my system (same as yours) in between 10-30 seconds. With this it would be between 5-15 seconds.

Hi, The Intel SSD 320 comes in both 1.8" and 2.5" form factors. Only the 1.8" form factor is Micro SATA (16 pins). I do not have an Intel SSD so I can not verify if the Micro SATA USB 3.0 will work.

Here is a link to the EB1033 specs. Looks to me, like you can buy it with SSD already installed. But...... I would contact their support first. http://www.asus.com/us/EeeBox_PCs/EeeBox_PC_EB1033/specifications/

No. you will have to buy a separate 2.5 inch SSD drive along with it. I bot one for around 150$.

1st make sure those are 2.5" slots, SSD size slots, and not 3.5". If they are 3.5" you'll need the SSD adapter to make it bigger and fit the slot. You will need to buy a cable, if you do not already have one. You'll need it for a SATA connection. The drives I got were barebones and just contained the drives and a few documents and nothing else.

Mine didnt come with a cdrom drive. So i guess you can put it there. Just find a adapter or housing for it. Ther drive bays are for 3.5 drives. Most ssd comes with 3.5 adapters. But if you need the space use the cdrom slot. And get an external dvd reader.

I have a Dell XT2 that came with a small 1.8 inch hard drive and found an adaptor this SSD will fit inside of. You might want to see if there is an adaptor that will work in yours. The drive itself is great!

I don't see why not. I would do a little research first though. Check around on Google to see if anyone else has put an ssd in one.

Any size you care to put in it. And by size, we mean capacity. I think I had an old 8 Gb lying around. That's probably plenty.

Jack,First, I have 2 of the enclosures and am very happy with them for >1 yr. Includes quiet cooling fan. While I am using 3.5" drives in them I'm fairly confident you could slip in a 2.5" SSD using a 3.5" bracket. In fact, some SSD drives come with a 3.5" bracket as part of the drive kit. I recall installing an SSD in a 3.5" slot on using a bracket in my dad's PC last Spring. So, my answer to your question is to go for it! But be sure to order a bracket as well. Hope this helps! - Mel at nondeficere.com P.S. Be careful when you install a drive in the StarTech enclosure. Don't force anything! Don't pull on anything! Just slide the drive in horizontally until it plugs securely into the drive connector in the housing. Jack,First, I have 2 of the enclosures and am very happy with them for >1 yr.

There are guides about adding an SSD on the net, use your google-fu to find some, they should have some information and pictures of the interior. These kind folks basically have all the information: http://www.transformerforums.com/forum/asus-transformer-aio-p1801-general-discussion/38909-modding-stock-p1801-12.html

I personally don't know as I haven't tried to add an SSD. It appears that the bottom of the laptop can be opened up by removing a few screws. I assume there would be an open slot for the additional SSD or HD once the bottom cover is removed.
