The mS100 SSD is 8 times smaller than a traditional 2.5-inch hard drive, making it perfect for hard drive replacements in small form factor or embedded system builds.
By integrating Kingston's mS100 mSATA SSD with a hard drive and Intel's Smart Response Technology on a Z68 motherboard, desktop users can experience the performance of an SSD with the large capacity and low cost of a hard drive. Intel's technology recognises frequently accessed data and copies them to the SSD (SSD caching). This decreases system, application and frequently accessed software load times.
Pros: Works great in an Acer W500 (Windows) tablet, very fast and responsive.
Cons: Hardest part of performing the upgrade was opening the W500 tablet, once you get that done it is pretty straight forward to install Win7.
Overall Review: If you are looking at this for an Acer W500, hit the BIOS first and set your USB to first boot or enable F12 so you can access the boot menu to install Windows from a USB drive.
