Netbook SSD

[Dynix]

Hi,

Bought a netbook a few days ago, came with a 500GB harddrive which is lovely, but fancy putting in a SSD to make it a bit quicker and help with battery life a little.

What's currently the best ~64GB SSD to have?

The cheapest

Not sure on the ION chipset but the Intel Atom chipset is only SATA150, so any decent SSD is bottlenecked.

I really wouldn't recomend spending a lot on one for a netbook, you'll see an improvement but it's just not as significant as on other machines that have SATA300.

Could you live with 40GB? How about the Kingston V 40GB at around £70-75 - a great drive using the Intel G2 technology, but at least it's cheap.

I probably could go with a 40GB one; currently only using about 20GB (Windows 7 plus a bunch of apps).

I'll take a look at that one
