How big? How fast? What interface?

Taking a WAG, this would be a good one to start with . . . up or down from here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236562

Or buy used. I would think a lot of folks are swapping laptop spinners for SSDs...

Something you might consider, too, if your price/capacity pans out.

Agree, might want to consider M550 128GB or 840 EVO 128GB for it.

With 240 GB SSDs $100-120 is better if that is enough space.
amazon
WD Blue 500GB 5400 rpm $50
WD Blue 1 TB $69
HGST Travelstar 1 TB 7200 rpm $75/69

Seagate 600 48 GB SSD $220

If we are talking about the ACER mentioned here: http://forums.anandtech.com/showpost.php?p=36192214&postcount=1 and you want similar storage space I would second CorkyG's expert recommendation above or the WD Blue by infoiltrator
