After 7 hours in transit at Perth airport, my family was about ready to
give up the ghost; the SSD in my Acer Aspire netbook did.
So I now have a netbook that boots Ubuntu Netbook Remix fine from a USB
flash drive, but refuses to partition the internal SSD. dmesg gives a
string of errors that leads me to believe that the SSD is completely
useless, although the BIOS does recognise the make and reports the
serial number.
I managed to get my personal data off the (EXT3 formatted) SD card onto
another flash drive.
But I am now looking for a replacement, either an SSD or HDD. This is a
1.8" form factor thing, and price spy is not helping me. Neither is google.
Can someone recommend a place where I can find a 1.8" SSD or HDD, or a
google search term that it actually useful?
Thank you
Stephen Irons.
