There aren't many choices when it comes time to upgrade the IDE PATA solid state hard drive in Dell or Asus netbooks with 50mm size SSD drives. It is pretty much generic or the Pro IV series of SSDs from Runcore.

I read reviews of generic SSDs and it seemed to be a maybe yes, maybe no in successfully installing and getting the generic model to work properly.

Runcore is one of the few vendors that specifically states thier 50mm size PATA drive is optimized for use in the Dell Mini-9 (the one I have) and several other Dell or Asus models.

My prior SSD burned up...bought my Runcore and voilá! My PC is alive again, like Lazarus raised! At the beginning I ad problems with removing the screws from my dell mini SSD but after succeding, it worked out like a breeze! Cheers ;)

I was amazed at how easy this was to install and to clone the old drive. I will say that the clone software takes more than a gig of space, so it is something that you have to be prepared for. If you are like me and you are purchasing this because your drive was full, it makes it a challange. I found a folder under Windows called Software Distribution that I was able to move off to another USB device to make room. The software has many more features than just the clone, so when you install it, just search the PDF instructions for the word Clone, and you will find. It was really easy to run once you knew where to go.

I am very pleased with this product.
