Update: Upgrade instructions and benchmark of the EEE 901 with an even faster SSD.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Recently, I upgraded the harddisk of my EEE PC. It comes with a 4 GB onboard SSD which in quite slow, and a 8 GB SSD which is even slower. A benchmark shows just how slow it is.<\/p>\n

\"Benchmark<\/p>\n

After reading the test of the RunCore Pro IV SSD on jkkmobile,<\/a> I decided it was time to upgrade. Unfortunately, the RunCore SSDs are hard to come by in Germany, so I bought a 32 GB Super Talent PCIe SSD (FPM32GLSE) for about 100 \u20ac, expecting similar performance.<\/p>\n

I made an image of the old drives and upgraded the BIOS to the newest version. To my surprise, installing the drive was as simple as swapping the RAM module.<\/p>\n

After restoring the images to the new drive, I ran the benchmark again.<\/p>\n

\"Benchmark<\/p>\n

Overall, the Super Talent SSD outperforms the onboard SSD. Sequential writing is a bit slower, but sequential reading is more than 3x faster. 4k writing is about 12x faster, but the absolute value of 0.7 MB\/s is still quite low. A RunCore Pro IV should get about 16 MB\/s which is 20x more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
