Hello everyone. I just bought a Mini 12 on craigslist for $70 (not a typo!) and the 60GB HDD is SLOOOOOOOW! Would the SSD below work properly with the Mini 12?

32GB KingSpec 1.8-inch ZIF 40-pin SSD (on amazon)

Also, what is the consensus with OS'es on the Mini 12? I currently have XP. Would 7 (or 7 starter) run better? I do have many fast SD and USB drives for readyboost.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Amazon also has a ZIF to SD card adapter. Would it run and be faster than a standard 1.8" 4200rpm HDD?

Hi,

The Mini 12 comes with PATA hard drives and the SSD has a SATA connector, so it won't be possible to connect the SSD with this system.

Please download and run the windows 7 upgrade advisor to make sure if your system is compatible with Windows 7. You may download it from the link below.
Download Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor from Official Microsoft Download Center

If the upgrade to Windows 7 is successful, you will be able to use the ready boost option.

Please reply for any further questions.

Thanks and regards

scholzpdx of course anything would be better than 4200rpm drive, but I'll spend my money on a SSD to revive that lovely *book.

How the situation has evolved ?

@Abhishek_B
that SSD drive HAS an IDE-ZIF interface so it'll fit the mini12 perfectly
