"SSD" has no compatibility difference from normal drives. Just about any motherboard manufactured after like.... 2002 can use them, specifically, SATA format. However to get the most out of them, SATA3 (6.0gbps) is preferred. SATA2 (3.0gb) is about 80% effective... but still stupidly faster than a HDD
