Upgrade SSD for DM3z-1000

‎08-17-2012 11:16 AM

Hi, I am currently using a 160GB Sata hard drive for my DM3. I would like to upgrade to SSD. I believe the unit I need is this one:

Hewlett-Packard (HP) 582077-001 - 160GB SATA Solid State Drive (SSD) Hard Disk Drive (HDD)

 

They have it for $199. Does HP have it cheaper?  is this the right upgrade for my machine? And is their photo correct? They are not showing the part number on that photo.

 

Please help guys!

Hi,
Intel based DMZ3 support 160GB solid drives and the amd based ones 128GB ones. It doesn't have to be the drive stated in the maintenance guide and I also believe that any solid drive might work. I would buy a 160GB SATA II drive from Corsair or Intel. They have high read and write speed plus reliablity. Have a look at amazon or other online retailer and see reviews..
