Hi,
I was thinking about a 64 GB drive as it will be easily sufficient for the
work i do with the Netbook. To be honest, I am only thinking about it
because i can, rather than due to any real perceived boost in performance.
i have a few colleagues who have swapped out their NC10 SATA drives and
noticed a longer battery life, but as ever it's hard to get concrete
examples of this.
I just like tinkering around with a machine which works fine as it is; and
that never causes a problem does it!
Cheers
Karl

It is undoubtedly possible to install a whole operating system on most
SSDs however given their price the operating system and critcal
applications is all you might store on the SSD itself and use the
machine in the cloud. They are however still quite expensive and the
sweet spot in the market seem to me to be about 64GB to 128GB afterwich
it is silly prices. Undoubtedly also SSDs do boost performance however
the more performance you have in the machine to start with the great the
gain.
I know of an individual who installed an SSD into a small factor laptop
(not a Netbook) and was getting boot times under 10 seconds, however as
I pointed out earlier it is very expensive. Within five years however
these devices will be common and cheap enough to deploy in much wider
settings but for the moment the traditional hard still has its role.
A certain amount of optomisation has occurred with Windows 7.0 for SSDs
but I haven't read the data too carefully myself.
