    I want to replace the hdd in my 8510p with a SSD.

    Will it just accept any SATA SSD? I am looking for a 64gb budget model, not a super fast since it probably will be wasted on this model.

    Should most SSD drives work?

    Thank you

    Most, if not all, ssd drives should work. After some research I've recently bought 2x Kingston SSDNow v300 64gb. 1 was for nc8430 other for nx9420 and they both work fine, even better than expected. It was cheapest drive in Croatia so i recon it must be cheap everywhere else in the world :)
