EEEPC, who we do not need to present to you any more, at least in some of its guises, embarks on a new venture with a SSD disk in the format mini PCI Express. The very significant sales of their computers make sure that these disks are aimed at the general public.

Thus, Supertalent announced the release of a range of these disks going from 16 to 64 GB and whose performances are far from being ridiculous, reaching 90 MB/s in reading and 55 MB/s in writing. The price remains reasonable, $169 for the model 64 GB.
The reason we tell you about these disks is because all our Mac Intels have one of these mini PCI Express ports. This port is intended to support the Airport card. It is thus completely possible that if you do not use your Airport (Mac mini or Mac Pro) to amuse yourself by grafting on such a SSD and that it should function there.
This is completely possible, Grincheux, a reader of Macbidouille has successfully succeeded in connecting to this connector a RAID PCI Express card(in french).
However, we do not believe that it is possible to start up using this SSD. But to place on this disk the applications would already bring a real comfort to daily usage and also has in in its favour a do-it-yourself that is amusing and not complicated.
