Japanese company Green House is releasing two new high-capacity SSDs made specifically for the Eee PC. The new Green House SSDs boasts of a 32GB and 64GB storage capacity. That would give our Eee PC’s a big storage boost enough to run Windows Vista, right? The SSDs are capable of 32MB/s reading speed and 15MB/s writing mode.
Unfortunately, the SSDs are currently available only in Japan. If you have immediate plans of going there and wish to get the SSDs, be prepared to shell out around $143 and $292. That’s of course assuming that you know a little bit of soldering works so that you can install the SSDs to your Eee PCs by yourself.
