Bought to give a second wind to my EeePC 1000H I could not stand being slow. I hesitated a long time had to buy an SSD instead of replacing it with a new netbook. But since I was 3 other machines or I could mount it otherwise I was not taking a big risk. A new netbook is also at a minimum 250 for not much higher performance. About seen the support provided 3.5 inches. Finally the investment worthwhile. I no longer have the same machine. All applications are getting virtually instantaneously, the Windows startup time is halved. The flow rates are around 120 m / s instead of the 45 original on my machine. This SSD is very well recognized and how silent operation! Also, SSD comes incorporated the latest firmware; so no update to do, cool. To see the time in life expectancy now.
