A few weeks ago, we took the 5,400 rpm Western Digital Scorpio hard drive out of the. We hoped the boot time would be better and that applications would load more quickly, but in a day or two of anecdotal use with the SanDisk SSD, we didn't notice any performance improvement. At the time, we noted that the SanDisk SATA 5000 is not a very fast SSD and that we regretted we had not had time to do any firm testing before we had to return our review model Wind to MSI. This week, when our friends at DV Nation lent us a blazing-fast 64GB Samsung SATA II SSD, we couldn't wait to install it in our and this time run a complete battery of real-world tests to see how much a difference a high speed SSD can make in a mini-notebook. With the easily accessible upgrade panel on the Eee PC 1000H, we were able to swap out the system's default 5,400 rpm hard drive, a Seagate Momentus, with the Samsung SATA II in minutes. After installing a fresh copy of Windows XP Home SP2 with all the ASUS drivers and utilities, we were ready to put the system through some tests. We opted to test the high-speed SSD-enhanced Eee PC 1000H not only against the Eee PC 1000H with its default hard drive, but also against the Eee PC 901, which has the same RAM and CPU as the 1000H but sports a smaller 9-inch screen and a pair of SSD chips as its hard drive.
The Eee PC™ 1000H is equipped with a large 10' display that allows users to easily view documents and webpages comfortably The keyboard is 92%** the size of generic notebooks – making it more comfortable to type for more relaxed usage.

We wanted to see not only how much an SSD could improve the performance of the 1000H, but also how the aftermarket Samsung SATA II SSD compares to the built-in SSD chips ASUS uses on every Eee PC model except the 1000H. We won't bore you with too many details about ASUS's SSD chips, but it's important to note that all Eee PCs with more than 4GB of storage space (900, 901, 1000) actually come with two different SSDs, with the first 4GB on one chip and the remaining storage on a slower, higher-capacity chip. We ran our tests on the primary 4GB chip to get the best performance possible.

HD Tach Tests To get a rough idea of each hard drive's capability, we ran the quick bench test in HD Tach 3.0.4.0. Looking at the results, we were not surprised to see that the Samsung SATA II, which is rated at 100MB/s read and 80MB/s write speeds, gave transfer rates that were double that of the Seagate Momentus 5,400 rpm drive and the ASUS 4GB SSD which HD Tach detected as an 'ASUS-PHISON SSD TST2.04P.' After all, the Samsung SATA II 64GB costs anywhere between $800 and $1,000 online and the 32GB version is in the $400 - $600 range, depending on where you find it. The entire Eee PC 901 computer costs $599 so we expected a huge performance gap between ASUS's SSD and a top-of-the-line drive like the Samsung. Nevertheless, we were surprised to see that the random access time was exactly the same on both SSDs. System Burst Average Read Random Access Eee PC 1000H (Samsung SATA II SSD) 121.6MB/s 93.5MB/s 0.4 ms Eee PC 1000H (default hard drive) 126.4MB/s 35.2MB/s 15.8 ms Eee PC 901 45.1MB/s 41.1MB/s 0.4 ms The real question is not how these drives look in HD Tach, but whether they make the Eee PC faster and more pleasant to use in the real world.
