It is more difficult than most PC's, 1.8" drives are hard to find and the selection is poor (most are 4200rpm) Google may reveal an SSD with the same form factor and connectors but I did not find one when I looked for the same thing recently.
Hi Steve, thanks for the reply. I saw those earlier, however they are not compatible according to owc for the 1.1
They are hard to find... There are not many around... Here is one from Amazon...

Thanks Joey. Yes difficult to find. Photofast and Runcore Pro also found in web search. for a 128gb it is $300 + range for a compatible one.
