Default Win a 128GB Runcore SSD for your Mini 9! - 01-14-2010, 05:09 PM

We are giving away a 128GB Runcore T-Style Solid State Drive!

The RunCore 128GB Mini PCIe "T-Style" SSD fits snugly into your Dell Mini 9 / Vostro A90, making good use of the unoccupied space next to the SSD Mini PCIe Port.
At 128GB in capacity, this is the biggest drive available for the Dell Mini 9 at the moment, and probably will be forever.

The drive comes as you would receive it from their retailer, MyDigitalDiscount, with the drive itself, a micro USB cable, screw driver and RunCore stickers. More information available in this unboxing thread.

Entering is easy!

Just follow @MyDellMini on twitter and simply retweet this post using this handy link. Every mention we receive will be noted and we will pick the winner at random on Tuesday the 19th. Said prize will then be shipped asap. If you don't win, you can still purchase a T-Style drive from our sponsor, MyDigitalDiscount.

This is the perfect opportunity for anyone with the stock 8GB/16GB drives to get in with the change of great boosting their storage capacity and speed!

Also don't forget, this drive will only fit in Dell Mini 9s/Vostro A90s with the empty PCIe Card space next to the SSD. As much as I'd like it to, it simply won't fit on a motherboard of a Mini 9 that came with the 3G WWAN card - even with said card removed.

Check out the small print.

Deadline for entries is now over! We will be announcing the winner at the end of the day (here in the UK that is).

So the drive will fit just the mini 9? No love for the mini 10(v) users?

Cool, put myself down to win - 128gb would sure give me room to move. Congrats to whoever ends up winning it.
