    Not worth the money, if it's got a JMicron controller on it.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but using the Kingston SSDNow SSD required that you disassemble the SSD housing and extract the PCB, correct?

    umm.. nope.. my Acer Aspire One uses a 2.5" hard drive both the new and old models besides the SSD models from the 8.9". All Acer Aspire One use standard full size 2.5" hard drives.

    edit: heres the picture of the HDD cage in my 11.6" Acer

    rth, thanks for clarifying that some Aspire One models use the 2.5" form factor SSD. MSI and Asus netbooks (at least the ones I have) and some Aspire One models use a "chips on naked PCB" for the SSD.

    Therefore... CAUTION to readers. Confirm which type of SSD your Aspire One uses. Some vendors will not refund, but merely exchange, if you return the part. ewiz has a 14 day return/refund period for "naked" SSDs, but charges a 15% restocking fee.

    well, the AOA110 i think that's the model uses the SSD for the 8.9". I could be wrong though but that's what i remembered. AOA150 uses .zif instead of SATA. AOA150 uses SATA.

    Found this thread from searching, sure I'm a little behind but what the heck :confused:

    I have an ACER ASPIRE ONE D250-BGw - that has a 160GB HDD and 3G built in and I am looking for information on upgrading to SSD.

    Also would like to install Windows 7 and recently read about "Tiny7" anyone seen or used that? ;)

    And looks like being behind might be good because the newer range of Kingston Series V seem to be an improvement :cool:

    Are there any other SSD that should be considered in this size, 32GB and price range?

    Thanks, John :)

    And now this to consider :)

    SOURCE
    Kingston SSDNow V-Series 30GB Solid State Boot Drive Review
    Upgrading from a normal hard drive to a solid state drive can be quite expensive and for most people it really does not make that much sense. Solid state capacities are getting larger, but that just brings the price of the drives up even higher.

    Kingston wants to help people out who want to take advantage of the blazing speeds of solid state drives, but don't want to break the bank. They have just released the SSDNow V-Series 30GB solid state boot drive.

    This drive will retail at around $100 and will allow you to load your operating system and applications on it for fast load times, and then you can just put all of your media on a normal SATA drive.

    This is a great upgrade option for people looking to get a solid state drive, but might not have that much extra money for one.
