    Can I put the Crucial 256GB Crucial RealSSD C300 in the Asus G73-A1?

    Will there be any compatible issue?

    Here's A comparison of different SSD's on a well respected site with the Crucial 256GB RealSSD C300 being one of them. I went with the Crucial because of size, it will fit all my apps with approx 65% left over.

    Just so you know, while it should work fine, it won't perform up to its maximum capacity. That SSD is based on SATA 6Gbps whereas the G73 only has SATA 3Gbps. This means that you'll see a top read speed of closer to 270MB/s rather than the 330 MB/s the SSD is capable of.

    Thank you for that info. If that is the case, I will not buy that SSD since I cannot get the maximum speed. I guess I will just get the OCZ Vertex 120 GB for the G73.

    It will still be faster then the OCZ vertex but you can save some money
