Is this a suitable drive: Samsung 830 64GB 2.5" SATA 3 SSD for a FitPC3 PRO?

I'm not looking for a recommendation, just along the lines of whether it'll fit and has the right interface. The range gets a good review in this month's PC Pro.

According to the specs, this drive will fit the FitPC3

Great, thanks for the reply.

Intel SSD 320 series 80GB works well in my Fit-PC3 Pro.

OK so if I'm using the fitPC3 LP, I can do that too right?

But how do I transfer the data onto the new disk? I would like to keep my Windows 7 license as well as the drivers, is it possible? How would you copy the files?

This depends on your Windows License type. Are you trying to transfer a system from another FitPC3?

I currently have a Hard Drive inside my fitPC3 and would like to switch it for a SSD. So I'm going to use the following tool to clone it: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/wind ... nd-restore

I'm finally going to use the following 2.5" 256GB SATA III SSD drive

Thanks.

It is hard to recommend any of the cloning tools, but I personally prefer the Microsoft imagex command line tool.

I bought the drive I referred to in the opening post. It fits like a glove. I built the machine as described in this post and it's working just fine. I've attached a USB IR receiver to control it (with an RC6 remote) and I'm using a block-level iSCSI target on my Synology 411j as my main data store. I haven't finished setting it up but so far, everything is working.
