Thanks Ordering it now :D
You will not regret it! I just installed the Super Talent 32GB disc and also upgraded the RAM to 1.5GB at the same time. It is sooooooooooo much faster now! It's a different machine, a pleasure to use. Well worth the nearly £100 it cost me. And yes you can use the same cable. The ferrite is stuck to the old disc but just comes off with careful pulling.
Re: 32g ssd on its way - Here My supertalent just dropped in also. Although I had to glue my rubber feet back on as this is the second time I have opened it. I am getting 62mb/s under ubuntu. I think windows xp feels faster though I may switch back. How does 7 run on the aa1?
Does anyone know where to get this SSDs in Europe? There was a guy selling them on ebay but they increased the price from +-90€ to +-190€ overnight. Thanks.
I live in Finland. memoryc.com was where I got mine about 2 months ago - they had 8 in stock just now!!
Anyone had problems with this SSDs? I installed mine last night but it's not working correctly, I installed Ubuntu a first time and it was incredibly slow, hang at every mouse click, I though that it must been a problem in the installation so I did it again, now it doesn't even boot at all. Any thoughts?
New Ubuntu 9.10? run dmesg on a terminal Can you see similarities? But yeh, with super talent disk I get the same thing. but old 9.04 jaunty runs just fine.
Thanks for the reply, but I already took it off the AAO so I can't try that. I placed an RMA at memoryc this morning, after talking to them they told me to sent it back for replacement. I'm sending it back monday. But it is indeed a new 9.10, is it suppose to have problems with this SSD? Does it have a fix? It would save me time and money if there was a fix.
Windows 7 Professional runs extremely well on the SuperTalent SSD. As smooth as on a desktop IMO. Boots up in 45 seconds. Typical shutdown in 15 seconds (providing no autoupdates or changes to the system configuration are being made). Office 2007 runs equally as well - not tried working with any large spreadsheets yet though.
Just bought a Kingspec 1.8" 64GB ZIF SSD for my Aspire A110 to replace the rather slow ZIF HDD previously fitted and can confirm that it works very well. I was trying Windows 7 on one of the partitions in place of XP previously but, whilst it works better than vista would have done, it's still too much for the AA1 hardware. So the AA1 is now running linpus (installed from scratch, the Macrium reflect copy that was referred to in my previous multiboot post last year was very very strange in the partition details - seemed to double up on the partition), Windows XP, Ubuntu 9.10 (desktop, not UNR, like having a proper desktop background), and, just for a try, Moblin which I have to say I rather like. Early days yet but everything works (well, not the cups printing yet, but I can see the Windows network shares so we're getting there). I got a Kingspec direct replacement 1.8" IDE 64GB SSD for my Thinkpad X41 several months ago so I knew they were OK speedwise. Both machines are quieter and faster and much more robust in consequence.
Just to update that MemoryC exchanged the supertalent, the 2nd works great with ubuntu or windows XP. Great service from them too, from the day I sent the SSD to when I receive the new one it took less than a week and they always kept me up to date, so I'm very happy with their service.
FB Sorry not to have kept up to date but have been busy. Glad you took my advice and, yes, the customer service from memoryc seem very good. It goes much better with that drive!!!
