I learned this the hard way. The SSD the eeePC came with was far too small, so I replaced it. The drive I bought was pitifully slow, though I didn't know that at the time. It was so slow that Win7 was all but unusable. About 2 weeks ago I bought a new SSD that is far faster, and now it works a treat. For reference, the first SSD had read/write speeds of 40/15 MB per sec. The new, faster, drive has read/write speeds of 155/100MB per second, and the difference is night and day.
