I had a eeePC 900A and have a eeePC 901 (both models use an Atom 1.6GHz). KingSpec MINI PCI-E SATA SSD Hard drive 32GB fit Asus eee PC 701 900 900A 1000
#Eee pc 701 4gb upgrade
I wanted to upgrade the material of my EeePc and discover at the same time that the support for the 32 bits architecture is reducing on Linux. I decided to buy and use a 32 Gb ssd drive for the Usb card reader instead. So, after several tries, I conclude that the drive was not supported or broken and came back with the old Ide setup. Accessing the drive was making a lot of error messages and the whole system was freezing. The biggest problem is that it became very painfull to boot on Linux with this setup.
But, the 32 Gb drive was detected correctly by the Bios and I had the choice to set it in the drives priority even if the integrated one was completely unseen. When I have replaced the 8 Gb Mini Pcie Solid State drive by the 32 Gb one, the Bios stopped to detect the integrated Solid State drive of 4 Gb on the Ide master port and even not the Mini Pcie ssd of 32 Gb on the Ide slave (the 8 Gb one is). This netbook have a motherboard integrated Solid State drive of 4 Gb too. I have bought a Kinspec Mini Pcie Sata Solid State drive of 32 Gb capacity to replace the 8 Gb one. I have try to upgrade unsuccessfully the Bios firmware with the latest version from Asus in several ways.
