I was just searching around about this when I stumbled on your blog post. I’m just stopping by to say that I definitely liked seeing this post, it’s really well written. Are you thinking of posting more about this? It seems like there’s more material here for future posts.

Well as someone with a 901, I can say this is false. 26 seconds from power on to password prompt.
This is not slow.

The claims about the speed of the SSD in this post are completely incorrect. The boot speed issue is strictly a BIOS bug — ACPI related. Reflashing the BIOS with the unsupported bugfix version will resolve the issue. It is really a matter of opinion which Eee is the better choice for OS X — larger size, more storage and larger keyboard, or smaller size, greater durability and better battery life, it depends on what you want to do with the PC, much more than the performance of the OS on that particular model. The 901 is in no way “Bad”, but neither is the 1000H. Of course now, there’s the 904HA, S101, 1000HA, and 900HA adding new options for those who can’t decide…

I’ve read somewhere that the 901 allows to connect a 1.8″ ZIF mechanical hard drive. That would allow for at least 30 more gigs, affordable, and whenever 4200 rpm is not so fast (I had a 80GB 4200rpm in my first G4 mac mini). Of course, this would drain even more current, and it’s quite fragile as any other harddrive. But if this allows to build that oh-so-long-waited hackbook mini, I’d be quite ready to pay that price :-)

By the way, my comment wasn’t meant as disparaging in any way – I just don’t want to worry the many people who are coming here to see your guide. :)

I agree with Joshua Ochs: a completely non-sense article about the SSD being slow, and it hasn’t been removed or at least amended. We need commendable information in the OSX86 scene, not a lot of tripe scaring users away from trying. Those of us who try are the ones who make it happen. =]

I know you’re on our team, but take the last step! =D

Care to retract this, since it’s been shown to be completely wrong?
