Western Digital Scorpio 320gb hdd and 2gb ram in EeePC 1000h

Just recapping some stuff from my other sites to build up my content base, I’ll have a lot more variety soon.

A while back, I decided to go ahead and grab a larger HDD for my EeePC. I found the WD 320GB drive on Amazon for well under $100 and couldn’t resist. I took the ram cover off, pulled the old drive out, swapped the cage to the new one, and popped it in. Seems as least as fast as the stock 80GB drive, and battery life doesn’t seem to have been effected. It does seem to generate a bit more heat, but not to a huge degree.

I picked up a 2GB stick of Kingston Ram at the same time. I didn’t even bother to document the swap, as you literally just pop the old one out and the new one in, as you can see in the pics. The upgrade is certainly worth it, though I won’t bother going into detail, because there’s a zillion articles about ram upgrades out there. :D

I just did them together since they’re both easy swaps, and there’s nothing really groundbreaking here.

Sig says it’s a worthy upgrade. Simple enough for a beginner to pull off and a nice increase in storage and memory.
