Hi:

You can install a SATA III SSD in your 8200 Elite SFF, and it will work at the full SATA III speed.

I put a Sandisk SSD Plus 240 GB in my 8200 Elite CMT.

You can select a storage capacity size that works with your budget.

Mine cost around $70 USD on sale.

Hi,

Thank you, will I get the full speed of 6 Gb/s transfer?

You're very welcome.

Yes, you get the full sata 6.0 GBPS transfer speed in sata port 0 (boot drive), and port 1.

Ports 2 and 3 are SATA II.  Either of those is normally where you plug the DVD drive into.

You will need a 3.5" to 2.5" hard drive caddy for the drive to fit where your current HDD is now.
