    Who would actually use a 128 gb flashdrive? I've been using a 8 gb one and it is still far from being full. #supertalent

    Maybe one day when global warming melts the polar icecaps and meteors pummel the mountains, and a submerged landless world emerges...

    I'll live inside one of these. I call the 128 GB. :) #supertalent

    I wonder, 3.0 drives have got to work with 2.0 slots, just at slower speeds right? 2.0 works with 1.1..... #supertalent

    I upgraded my Mini 9's stock 16GB STEC with a 32GB RunCore SSD and immediately saw an improvement in performance.


    That and 2GB of RAM also set the thing up to run Windows 7 wonderfully for me as well!


    These things are incredibly versatile and will do pretty much what you want with a little work.

    In reply to Upgrading the SSD in a Netbook Makes a Difference
    It seems like the benefits of SSDs in netbooks over spinning disks aren't worth it when you look at their cost. $380 for 128GB is kinda steep when you consider that most HDD based netbooks come stock with at least 160GB. Also remember that these drives are model-specific. The one pictured above is for the Mini-9 only. Your $380 will be tossed out the door when you upgrade netbooks. If you buy a 500GB 2.5" SATA disk it can always be given a second chance in another laptop or a USB drive case.

    @dingus:


    Couple of days ago I was upstairs working when I heard a KERCLUNK!!! from downstairs. Worried that my two-year-old might have hurt herself I ran downstairs only to find the little one standing nest to my Dell Mini 9. When I asked my eldest daughter what had happened she told me that my youngest had reached up to the table, taken the computer in her hands and tossed it on our wood floor. Panicked, I opened the computer up to see if the screen was cracked. Luckily it wasn't. Next I turned on the machine to see if it would boot. It booted just fine. Indeed, two days later I'm writing this post on the Mini 9.


    Now I can't say that a conventional hard drive would not have survived the hit, but I'd much rather an SSD be subjected to that sort of punishment than a mechanical hard drive.

    What about RAM? I just bought an HP Mini(obviously a big mistake - but was only $300 and was able to carry it on plane very easily. Although, it's slow as shit. You think RAM upgrade from 1gb to 2gb(it's max) would make a diff?

    @Sean Scrooby Grube: the current crop of netbooks out htere only allowa max of 1 gig of ram. Newer ones use the new shipset from intel and allow 2 gig. Toshiba NB205 for example.

    I also bought one of those "super small" USB sticks from Sony, the one that is about the size of a dime? The security guard where I work made a stink over me bring my Cruzer in so I bought a sony one. It is so small it fits inside of my badge holder. I showed him!

    Corsair Flash Voyager 4GB worked good for two years. Thank god for the 10yr warranty. Just sent it in for an RMA, hope to get a nice new flash drive.

    The best is the one that doesn't try to install some crap front-end to manage your files on what is just another piece of removable storage... I'm talking 'bout you Sandisk!

    @Keen314:


    Yeah, I did that recently to make my Cruiser a bootable drive in an attempt to use it to install XP on a netbook.


    But I shouldn't have to. And I definitely shouldn't have to hunt down a separate piece of software to do it, either.

    I like my Corsair Survivor. Something about a CNC milled aluminum exterior which is waterproof when closed makes me feel safe.

    Sandisk is second from last on most read/write rate tests, apparently, when it's not dead-last. Laaaaaaame.
