Samsung NC10 disc upgrade
 

Does any one know if Samsung 256GB 830 Series SATA 6Gb/s 2.5" SSD Laptop Kit will be a straight swap into my old NC10, finding the 160gb a bit size limited also thinking/hoping there be a speed boost.

should be - I opened mine to fit a ocz vertex 4 a while back, it is a bit of a fiddle, but watch the tutorials on you tube to see how to strip it down. Increase the ram while you are in there.

Hi Ray

It should be a straight swap, the only thing is I think the motherboard only supports SATA2 (3Gb/s), should still be faster than a standard hdd.

Also I'd get the ocz vertex 4 like Tarmac has.

the 830 as mentioned is SATA 3 so you aren't going to utilise its full performance.

(I have one in my desktop good bit of kit though).

You'd be able to get a SATA2 SSD probably £50 cheaper.

Have OCZ fixed their reliability issues now? My Vertex2 failed twice!

Cheers all, got it as Samsung are also doing a cash back offer at the moment, more memory was the first thing that went in, thought the ssd would be a useful life extender , the nc10 is such a useful travel size.

Finally got time to install this, had no luck at all with ghost as supplied with ssd, had to go with the Seagate clone sw that worked ok.
