Hi All,

I just got my Vostro A90 for my birthday and am ready to start swapping out parts. I am looking for a new SSD- I want a 32GB Runcore, but mydigitaldiscount is out of them and other places seem more expensive. I also want to get 2GB of RAM. Could someone give me a link where I could get both the SSD and the RAM online. It would also be helpful if you linked to the exact products I am very worried about getting the wrong stuff that might be incompatible with the MINI 9.

Thanks

If you are willing to budge on the RunCore, pretty good deals to be had here in a "bundle"

SuperBiiz.com - Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, Computer Accessories, Networking, Electronics, and more!

I think I am already mentally committed to the Runcore. I decided a few weeks ago that it was the SSD that I wanted. Anyone know of a good place to get one?

thanks

Pretty good prices on that site. I just picked up a Buffalo 32gb with OS already installed and it works great. But 32gb SSD and RAM for $103? Can't really beat that. I paid $30 for my Ram alone. Pretty sweet deals, wish I saw this earlier.

I have to say that is an increadible deal. Do these other SSDs also have a mini USB to sync with? I am worried that if I get one of them I will have a harder time installing it (I am going MAC btw). Also what are people saying about the performance of the SSDs. How does Runcore relate to Buffalo and Supertalent. I have to say that deal is very tempting, if a few people can confirm that the install will still be easy and that the performance is the same than i'll take that route.

thanks

I have the older style ST 32G drive and although it was slower than the 32G RC I have it was usable. I now have the 64G ST double wide newer style drive and it to be as fast, as usable as the RC is and definitely cheaper.

Of course I got my 64G from eWiz (the same as SuperWiz) for $146. There are deals with Bing cashback that come and go and searching for prices through some of the buying engines can yield a 5% or more difference also. Buying from eWiz/SuperBiz can be quite the deal if you luck into the right combo of online deals.

It sounds like the Runcore is still the way to go. Could someone tell me if this is the one I need.

RUNCORE Dell Mini 9 32GB SSD PCI-e pcie EEE PC 901 32 - eBay (item 190329347371 end time Aug-28-09 10:36:02 PDT)

I know it is more, but I just want to get this thing up and running.
Thanks

Yes, that will work.

Great? Sorry to continue what is really just the same question, but is that the SSD that I really want. As in the same Runcore that everyone on this site is talking about? I'm not sure if there are different speeds within the Runcore brand. I am really looking for the Fastest 32GB Runcore that is a drop in replacement for the stock Dell SSD.

Also if I were to get that anyone have a good cheap site for Ram? Do you Have a link to a specific Ram?

Thanks

Yes, it's the same one 'everyone on this site is talking about'. When the description says Mini9 that's a good hint. Go to Crucial.com for memory where they walk you through every step so you can be sure you are getting the right RAM.
