    Hi am am purchasing the Fujitsu Tablet 900 laptop and I am interested in replacing the hard drive with a SSD.

    The current drive is - SATA , 5400 rpm, 160 GB, 2.5-inch, S.M.A.R.T.

    Will any SSD drive that is 2.5 inches and SATA compliant work in my computer?

    I have heard of incompatibility issues with some machines and SSDs.

    What things do I need to check to be sure the SSD I choose will work on my Fujitsu?

    I was thinking about purchasing the OCZ 180 GB SSD

    Thanks for your help.

    Any 2.5" SATA SSD will work. That's like the majority of the market.

    Ok great, why are there compatibility issues with some SSDs and computers?

    Does anyone know if OCZ SSDs are known to accept an i7 intel processor on Fujitsu?

    It would be a conflict with the chipset not the processor.

    It says the Chipset is a - Intel® QM57

    Do OCZ Vertex 2 SSDs work with the Intel QM57 chipsets?
