My anecdotal evidence of two SSDs is 50/50 - that one (64GB) has lasted 8
months and is still alive. The other (128GB) lasted 2 months and died a

Interesting. I have only ever owned one SSD which was a couple of
years back: an OCZ Petrol 40G (but used from eBay). It seems to work
OK for a few weeks and then

Hi Tony, hijacking my own thread a little but you mentioned Netbooks...
What do you run on it and does it do it well?
I am toying with the idea of a used Netbook as lightweight, space-server
alternative to my Dell Inspiron. Something like an Acer Aspire One series
D260 or D270 (both have well
I would not worry about it any more. They will most likely last longer then
the computer you put them in these days. And by the time it does start to
die in many, many years time the disks will be cheaper and larger and you
will probably be looking for a replacement anyway :)

Upgrade your bios if possible just to make sure.
After you have found out what SATA version you require, measure your

The only thing you really need to care about with HDD to SSD
replacement is the height of the HDD, is it 9.5 or 7mm high.
The 6400 can fit both 7mm and 9.5mm SSD.
I would advise that you purchase a 7mm SSD because then it is more
lilely to fit
