    Hi,
    Considering an Aspire One right now because it is less expensive than the others. I have a 512MB RAM (DDR2-PC5300) and 80GB 2.5" SATA HDD from my Thinkpad (which I upgraded both). So, I think maybe I could buy the Aspire One the cheapest version (8GB I guess).
    So, is it can be done? I know that there is SATA version of the Aspire One but not sure the connector will be there in the SSD version. Try to google it but found only SSD upgrade....
    Any recommendation would be appreciated!

    The aspire one with the hard drive is thicker, so I don't think you can install a hard drive in the SSD one..

    That's what I read from the thkgrl site about the SSD mod....
    Just wanna confirm...
    I wonder if anyone tried to "cramp" it in there. It doesn't make sense that Acer make two different chassis for the same product line. Maybe it is the reason why they seem to dump the price of the flash model to get rid of them.

    The SSD uses a PATA ZIF cable so you can't use your SATA drive there. It's also a 1.8" SSD as well.
