WTF….I just bought a runcore 32GB for 119 USD last week. I was so amazed for the last few days but now this news has rained on my parade. Either way, my 901 has officially retired my desktop.
on my eeepc 901, copy of a big file is about 8mb/s
if I upgrade with saber tooth ssd, will it really go about 7 times faster ? ( 55 mb/second )
