    Dell Netbooks only take very small SSD drives. Even smaller than normal. The best place to get one is memoryc.com - that's where I got mine (which I'm currently selling on eBay).

    16GB - http://www.memoryc.com/storage/solid...dellmini9.html
    32GB - http://www.memoryc.com/storage/solid...dellmini9.html
    64GB - http://www.memoryc.com/storage/solid...dellmini9.html

    You can also get a compatible drive from crucial.com, but they're much slower.

    Much much faster than the standard ones, and come with a miniUSB port to allow for fast installation/cloning etc.

    Re: mini pci-e ssd pata drives

    No idea. Maybe Google it? I would stick to the Runcore drives though as they're known to work.

    I apologize for being a lazy bum but how do these compare to a standard SATA SDD? They seem to be rougly the same price so what is their appeal? I take it, it is performance related?
