Any standard 2.5" SATA SSD will work. You may need a spacer to install the SSD in place of the hard drive, as the SSD will be slimmer than the 9.5 mm drive the system is designed to handle.

Thank you! I got a 240GB SATA 3 2.5" Internal SSD SA400S3. best investment under $30 I ever made. The difference in performance is like night and day. Highly recommend. Oh, and my Dell laptop HDD screws are stripped, so I actually used SATA->USB cable, and it's still blazingly fast. Sadly, I don't think I am willing to spend what it would likely cost to have the old HDD properly removed.

No, they're not. If it's available, connect a SATA SSD to a SATA 6G ("3") slot. SATA 3G "2" has half the bandwidth.
