for example will something like this work? http://www.ebay.com/itm/128GB-Sandisk-mS...19e3242f59
And there are a ton of used drives at quite attractive prices.
I see a huge variation on pricing of mSATA drives - are differences simply read/write speeds?
I recognize the memory has to be 1.35V
The first thing is to know your model of NUC! Some models (earlier ones) only take 2.5" mSATA. Others only take 2.5" SATA III.
The second thing is to research the make and model of SSD you plan to buy. Some have issues. Some vendors for example have released an initial version of an SSD that performs very well for rock-bottom prices. And a few moths later switch production to a different country and have performance become horrid.
Other than that, I don't recall anyone having specific SSD issues with a NUC. I suggest putting together a profile of your planned build and post in the XBMC Hardware forum asking for review.
