It's meant for 1.8" SSDs smile.gif.

Thanks for your reply smile.gif
But if you look at the picture of the motherboard I attached, it has a special slot for SSD on the board. That is why I want to know if the slot is meant for the ordinary SSD or there is a special SSD size. It's maybe like a microSD card with adapter so it can be slotted in a normal SD port smile.gif
So, is the slot for this SSD like this seller http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=2076551&hl= is selling? Will it fit nicely on the board?

My mistake on that part. The slot your board has is known as a mini-SATA slot and not a micro-SATA slot. You won't fit a 1.8" SSD there. A mini-SATA SSD can also be known as a solid state drive without a cover and with a much smaller than usual dimension. smile.gif

Mini-SATA SSDs are rare anyway, but they are still cheaper than the normal 1.8" / 2.5" solid state drives depending on the brand. You're probably better off buying a normal sized solid state drive as it will be easier to obtain them.
