CF U1 SSD

Hi guys, I have a CF U1 winging its way to me but no SSD fitted in it, the MPN of said Beastie is CF U1GQGGHFG . Any body have a clue what I should get? Thanks in advance as this forum has never let me down.

 

man , i hope it can be had cheaper than these :

i don't believe that is the right picture for the drive in question ... the pictures i have seen show it as a "flat pack" style .
i have looked for specific information and can't find anything intelligent .

 

The bad news is in the following thread..

http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/cf-u1-need-help-replacing-ssd.697605/

Do you have the caddy?

 

This is one of them Toughbooks that you want to get with the SSD already installed in it. Check this thread out http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/cf-u1-need-help-replacing-ssd.697605/

 

Great little machines, but with 1" SSD. http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/28-days-with-the-cf-u1.700414/ I have some info on the SSD in this thread.

16gb, 32gb, 64 gb is about all you can get for them.

16gb will run out quick. In my thread posted above you can see what speed it will run at and how much space you will have after a reload.

I would recommend at least a 32 if you can. You can expand the storage memory with a SD card.

• Panasonic Toughbook U1
• Atom Z530 / 1.6 GHz
• Windows 7 Pro
• 2 GB RAM
• 64GB SSD

On another site I also see mention of GPS for this unit.
You have a Mk2, the 2gb of ram with run windows 7 pretty smooth.

I have a Mk2 I got to finish rebuilding, I have 6 or 7 U1's right now.

 

Thanks guys, looks like I will be getting out my Dictionary of Advanced Swearing and Cursing for Tough book Owners again LOL

 

You do have a nice model with the Mk2. In my review with windows 7 I knew it dragged some, but still ran better than vista. I haven't tried the U1 with 2 GB of ram yet, but every other atom device I have messed with going from 1gb to 2 gb of ram on them with windows 7 has upped the performance of them alot.

 

i seen the carrier in ador's thread ...
the picture at the site i linked to looks nothing like the *real* one ... or maybe i am not seeing things correctly .
(makes me question the integrity of the site if it is not the correct picture)

then the gist of it is that :
there is a cheap(er) solution in an after market ssd
the above only applies if one has the carrier in their hands

but still it will be much more *cost effective* if one has to purchase a carrier off of cheesebay or another source .

Transcend TS64GSSD10-M is,
1inch SSD 64GB IDE 35pin ZIF
In ultra-core specs that, TOUGHBOOK CF-U1 it is What to that can be retrofit SSD. By the way CF-U1 the current product has been this SSD is mounted.



Transcend TS64GSSD10-M (left) and SAMSUNG MCBQE16GZMPP-M1A (right)
Smallness of the ZIF connector is threat



Has been BIOS recognized! !
Of course, CPU is does not change the low-spec, it was saved in very so was able to have the spare capacity at 64GB.
On the CF-U1 is the case, it'll be me from now also active so the main PC

 

heh ... man , there is something *lost* in the translation !

 

Also too the speed of the 16gb and 32gb samsung drives is faster than the 64gb SSD.

 

Shawn ,Now we know what Yoda does when he is not in star wars ,he translates for google

 

That's funny....

Yes the translations are interesting at times...

 

I've got one if you want it. It's a 64gb, and soon a 16 will be available too. See: http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/cf-u1-junkie.781375/

 

yeah ... translations followed by (ahem) "functional english" ...
oft was the time these words have been heard :
"hey joe , me love you long time ... two doolah and pack of mahlbolo" .

errr ... ummm , no thanks .

 

My 256GB SSD is faster. Mod complete, either one of my old drives for sale $10, take your pic. I even made a CF-U1 drive to USB adapter. No mods needed to the drive, hooks to the caddy.

 

Hi only now seen this ,do you by chance still have the 64gb ssd still for sale as I have a cfu1 mk 2.6 in need of a drive and a new glass outer screen LCD is working fine, also what would postage etc work out at for sending to UK

 

Not sure if he still has this but I think he lives in UK. Check out his other thread...post #4 here forum.notebookreview.com/threads/cf-u1-junkie.781375/
