The Solid State Disk (SSD) is starting to appear in a lot of mini-notebooks since one was initially included in the orginal Asus EEE PC. We’ve all been waiting for them to drop low enough in price that we can replace every hard drive we own with them but pricing hasn’t budged enough yet. Our friends over at Laptop Magazine decided to take that cool new MSI Wind that has everyone so excited and replace the internal hard drive with a SSD and see how performance compared. I won’t spoil their findings but let’s just say they’re not sad they made the swap. They’re not overly thrilled either. Check it out and see if you’re as surprised as I am.
