Instead, I upgraded my eeePC with a Sabertooth 64GB SSD (155/100 MB R/W specified speeds) for 165 EUR which is a lot less expensive, and I got 122 MB/s R, 71 MB/s W speeds ; you'll find all the details on http://www.fecj.org/extra/eeePC_901_single_16GB_SSD_upgrading_64GB.htm HTH yes the process is very easy especially if you use a nice imaging software (unlike dd unless you’re a GeEk ;-)
