A big warning:
The Acer Aspire One 721 and likely also the 1551 will not work with an Intel x25-m G2 SSD, and possibly not with other SSDs as well. The SSD is not detected in the BIOS, so Windows will not install and if it could it would not be bootable anyway.
The drive is readable in Linux, so it's probable that this could be fixed with a BIOS upgrade.

Well it worked in mine.um did you unplug battery before you installed it?You could try to hotplug it.

no i didnt try the intel ssd but i dont see why it wouldnt work.whats you bios number
-
I know it wasn't a mechanical/electrical issue since I was able to get the drive recognized under Linux (booted from a USB flash drive), just not in the BIOS. So the controller is compatible with the drive, just not the BIOS. Unfortunately that means that you can't boot from the drive. -
Sorry man that sucks...
