I'd worry about spending that much on a laptop that's had an issue already.
Try "mini PCIe SSD"
Here's one still for sale for $100.

$100 and it didn't sell.
You could hack a USB pen drive internally, but they tend to be quite slow.

Or you could buy something like this

$75 US
What about an SDHC card ? They're cheap and easy to fit.

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?
