Also upgraded RAM to 2gb. The tests are accurate. Blinding speed for this HP Mini 1000. Highly recommended. Kind of wish I'd goe for the 128gb version but at $430 it was too rich for my blood and i have enough storage for my apps. Don't hesitate on this installation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33183441.post-66122463603483994802010-02-19T05:47:05.134-08:002010-02-19T05:47:05.134-08:00hi there you right my hp net books u...hi there you right my hp net books use runcore ssd first one uses a run core 16 gb ssd then the other a run core 32 gb ssdAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33183441.post-49036935664116009102009-10-23T15:59:04.217-07:002009-10-23T15:59:04.217-07:00How does he remove the "internal" USB sl...How does he remove the "internal" USB slot the HP Mini 1000 has?

The installation was as easy as JKK's video, except as warned by other posts, the ZIF cable needs to be FIRMLY inserted into the SSD slot. On my first install, the SSD was not recognized by the system. I tried again after replacing the ZIF cable with the same length ZIF cable that was provided in the RunCore kit. I really had to pinch it firmly to insert into the SSD ZIF slot. Booted right up the second time (Yay!). Really glad the kit comes with a USB drive case and cable that can probably be used with any similar SSD, and also includes a custom 4-pin to USB cable that only works with the RunCore -- this made the cloning process a breeze. Once the HP Mini booted up successfully on the second try, I could see the difference immediately. The browser puts up web pages faster with no lag, and FINALLY my MS Outlook mail setup is usable. The system used to hang up on these apps, but no more. I'm a happy guy.BusyNonprofitMgrnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33183441.post-32709301574140278642009-06-27T14:12:42.103-07:002009-06-27T14:12:42.103-07:00In reflection, If I used the longer cable provided...In reflection, If I used the longer cable provided with the drive kit(vs. the original cable), The install would have have been easy.

The drive came with a trial copy of Acronis for WIndows and SuperDuper for Mac. Cloning was easy. Opening the HP was as easy as your video showed, installing the drive was a little more difficult. The alignment of the zif connector on the production drive is offset from the motherboard. IT took many tries to get it to fit without pulling out the cable. FInal result... The HP is now a dream! WHat a difference the speed makes. The drive size also means I can install all my software without using an extrernal drive.

I found a tutorial online and had NO problems other than the extra effort to insert the FPC into the SSD ZIF. The MTROM label faces you so the offset connector isn't an issue. Some padding under the SSD did indeed keep everything level so the keyboard remained flat. Man is this thing fast...less than 45 sec to boot and about 7 sec to shutdown.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33183441.post-85507258699438464292009-05-29T09:03:34.087-07:002009-05-29T09:03:34.087-07:00I just tried the install of a MTRON 1.8" 32GB SSD ...I just tried the install of a MTRON 1.8" 32GB SSD into my Mini 1030NR. First of all, as was mentioned earlier, the ribbon cable had to be, ahemmmm, persuaded into the new SSD. BUT, more importantly, the SSD ZIF slot is slightly off center so it can fit into the Mini's space correctly HOWEVER this places the SSD upside down and the cable must then be TWISTED. Sure, the SSD can be "forced" to fit the other way but its not "right". Some velco under the SSD helped to level everything so the keyboard wasn't effected. FYI guys. I'm returning the MTRON....maybe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33183441.post-85996952172500588412009-05-28T14:52:19.837-07:002009-05-28T14:52:19.837-07:00Thank you for excellent video of swapping out HD o...Thank you for excellent video of swapping out HD on HP Mini 1000.Lexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03481351493492530191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33183441.post-26807875367582599422009-05-12T16:29:00.000-07:002009-05-12T16:29:00.000-07:00No its too big...-Thats what she saidNo its too big...-Thats what she saidJesDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33183441.post-70902706624457667122009-05-10T17:24:00.000-07:002009-05-10T17:24:00.000-07:00Does the 2.5" works at hpmini 1000?Does the 2.5" works at hpmini 1000?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33183441.post-3601119648270100242009-05-05T14:58:00.000-07:002009-05-05T14:58:00.000-07:00I think an updated version on this RUNCORE 1.8 on ...I think an updated version on this RUNCORE 1.8 on the Mini 1000 is due.
