EDIT: what i wrote here was all wrong! there is enough room for a 2.5 hdd (but using the p-ata will be tricky, due to the installed zif connector) and there seems to be a sata port which is not soldered to the board. other forums report, that it would work if you soldered a connector (22p 180° - i think) to it. the drive in any case seems to fit!

Greetings.
Did anyone tried to replace the One's SSD with a 1.8 IDE.
Does it fit?
Is it faster than the SSD for XP use?
What results do you obtain with DriveSpeedChecker (

What about battery life?
i read, that they would NOT
i searched, but could not find where i read it. think the compact flash mod is a good way and has about the same pricing. like that you will have a changeable device onr maybe two os on different disks (cf1 netbuntu cf2 xplite). installing it under the still dead umts slot would make the whole thing realy like a camaeleon...
the battery life is ok 4 me. (say 2 hours of forum reading trying and reinstalling the os

One (stupid) additional question maybe :
on the motherboard, is there the SATA port to plug a regular laptop 2.5" HDD into the Linux Aspire One? (the one I just received with this sluggish 8gb SSD) :?
I would assume both versions share the same I/O hardware even if the storage differs.
Is there room in the case for such a regular HDD?
(Why Zif 1.8" HDD only mentionned as an alternative?) :roll:
I would like to plug a 2.5" 80gb HDD (5400rpm) as it is in the Aspire One WindowsXP version (and the MSI Wind) and be able to have decent performance and room for Mac OS-X (or multiboot) setup and use!
Thank-you.
no sata port
and way not enough room!
1. of all: the 8 gp of ram are bit low for fat asses like osx, but (no, BUT!) the disk is told to work propperly under osx... not tooooo slow writing times. so it might work just as it is...
you could use a 1,8 zif hdd ( @ about 100 € / 120$) or, even better: the great cf-2-zif mod explained in this forum...

but my question:
the hard war monitor shows two ide adapters... could it be, that one isn't in use at the moment? anyone any specs? would it theoretically be possible that the umts channel is the indicated but not found"
