Dell now offers a 32GB solid state drive option for it’s Mini 9 netbook. It’s a $100 upgrade – a nice option, but pricey enough to make it worth researching similarly-priced alternatives if you’re willing to get your hands dirty. Patriot’s SSD drives, for example, offer blazing-fast write speeds and are frequently hankered for by netbook owners annoyed at the use of cheap flash to bring system prices down.

Will this be yet another option not available in the Ubuntu version of the Mini 9 in Europe?
Ive no problem with cheap flash, hey, pop a few nise ssd in and youve a hardy machine.
