Mine has a SATA drive, but there shouldn't be any reason it couldn't use a SATA SSD in that form factor. I should add that just over the last couple of days, my D250 has started to panic at random times. That's new, and I don't know what's causing it. Given that it was a scrap machine I repaired, it may be hardware failure. > In any case, it sells for around 300 euro (around USD 380) and seems to > be an alternative as getting my Eee PC 900 repaired for the same price Now that the netbook craze is over, there are quite a few lightly-used ones for sale, often around $150 here. Look around before buying new. Relatively older models like the D250 may be better for FreeBSD, because they have Intel video that works with the accelerated xorg driver. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
