[N110] Replacing HD with SSD

[mgdoble]

I’ve just orderered an OCZ SSD for my N110. I wondered if anyone had replaced their Hard Disk and could tell me:
a) What is phsically involved with putting a different HD in ;
b) is this something a Samsung service centre would do (I’m a bit risk averse to taking apart my shiny new netbook);
c) How do I get XP and the relevant drivers off the old HD onto the new one.

Thanks

Welcome to the forum, Michael 🙂

There have been some threads discussing swapping the HDD for a SSD – not on the N110, but on the NC10 and N120 – but the principle should be the same:

*

[NC10]SSD.
*Upgrading to a SSD Drive.
*changing HDD in N120.
*Just Installed OCZ Vertex SSD on NC10!!

Hope this helps 🙂

Thanks. This link seems to point me in the right direction:

I’ve ordered an OCZ Agility 60GB SSD from http://www.scan.co.uk, so I’ll report back with pictures when I’ve made the swap.
Cheers

I’m jumping on this thread as I like modding and will be very interested to hear your experiences on this upgrade.

Part 2 of the front page story covers installing a SSD drive, watch out for Rachael’s story and pics!

Of course, more pics, benchmarks and experiences always welcome :)!

i have installed a 30gb ocz vertex ssd. This is the best upgrade you can do in your n110!! Windows 7 is really faster with this drive.

I love the idea of an SSD, but they’re just far too expensive at the moment for the sort of size I would want. I think it’s just a waiting game as the prices will start to come down soon enough!

My sentiments exactly sidude.

Have to say though macs (and Rachael), wicked upgrade to do all costs aside!!!!
