Fast and relatively inexpensive
- Pros: As fast as the "fast" 4GB SSD that came with the Asus 901 XP. The enormous additional space it provides allows installation of all of the programs I ever use and eliminates the need for all the cleaning and optimizing "work-around" programs provided by Asus to cope with the original severe space limitations of the 4GB 901 SSD.
- Cons: Has three individually controlled LEDs. I can't imagine an application where they'd be necessary or even visible... certainly not in a netbook. I doubt they use much power but still...
It'd be nice (for GHOSTing) if it came with a USB tether to connect it to a desktop directly.
- Other Thoughts: The FPM32GRSE is as fast as the small 4GB SSD that came in my Asus 901. The 901 XP comes with two SSD, one "fast" 4GB which soldered to the board and a second replaceable slow 8GB in the PCIE ZIF slot (which the FPM32GRSE replaces). The FPM32GRSE may be slightly faster than the fast 4GB SSD; it took 35sec to shutdown originally and takes 30sec with the FPM32GRSE.
I replaced the XP Home version with XP professional. I disabled the primary 4GB SSD prior to installation following the suggestion from a website. This may have been necessary if installing the XP Home version that came with the 901 but not if use an OEM version of XP. It turns out that after the 4GB SSD is disabled, it's extremely difficult to re-enable.
The Atom processor is a nice little CPU but it's not a real speed demon. It makes little sense to drop a bundle on super-fast SSD unless you're certain that it's the bottle neck.
great for netbooks
- Pros: great replacement for netbooks with a stock small ssd. I recently purchased an Asus EEE pc 900a and i could not live with the stock 4 gig drive. this runs faster than the basic 4 gig ssd it comes with. easy installation.
this thing shuts up and turns on in less than a minute. i have it in a dual boot setup and both xp and eeebuntu boots up in less than a minute. xp goes to sleep in half a second, which is really good for portability
- Cons: none
- Other Thoughts: there is another replacement hard drive from runcore with faster r/rw speeds, but at this price i think this is the better option.
Must have for eee-pc 901
- Pros: Took about 5 minutes to install. Recognized right away, tweaked the bios, installed XP and good to go. Reinstalled Office 2007, Skype, etc. and runs like a champ. The real test was reinstalling SlingPlayer; previously the video was so choppy it was unwatchable, even with a tiny window. Now I'm streaming full screen via wireless and it's like watching TV.
- Cons: None so far. Maybe runs a little hotter and haven't had it long enough to see if battery life is noticeably shorter, but increased performance and no worries about running out of space make it well worth it.
- Other Thoughts: Wish I would have done this months ago! This just extended the life of this machine by many months.
