In our [url=https://www.umpcportal.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=543&forum=8&post_id=2620#forumpost2620]forums[/url] today, jsnorman is reporting his first impressions about the Samsung Q1 SSD.
Like the Sony UX 90S, it contains a flash drive, in this case 32GB, and costs significantly more than the base product. Its also only available in Asia.
Jsnorman reports that the boot up speed is much faster and normal operation seems faster. But here’s the important news. With the extended battery (thats the 5-hour battery) he’s getting 8.5 hours.
[quote]Here is the kicker; I am getting 8.5 hours on my last run doing wireless, bluetooth and typing. That is significantly better than I have seen elsewhere, and it must be attributable to the SSD.[/quote]
The Samsung Q1 SSD is available for $2450 through the ebay reseller [url=http://stores.ebay.com/Mobile-Life-with-KORIS-CO_W0QQssPageNameZl2QQtZkm]Koris[/url]
If anyone with a base Q1 wants to help jsnorman complete some more testing, pop over to the [url=https://www.umpcportal.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=543&forum=8&post_id=2620#forumpost2620]forum.[/url]
