Acer Aspire One gets a DIY hard drive overhaul

Some users have apparently been complaining that the internal flash drive in the Acer Aspire One is a little on the slow side - which means it’s laptop makeover time again.

Swapping disks is slightly more complex than bumping up the storage on the Asus Eee PC 901, but thankfully JKKMobile is on hand to walk us through the process.

Basically you need to completely remove the main circuit board to reach the old drive, and then switch it out for a CF card adapter (which will need a couple of corners snipping off first). Then just slip in a faster card and you’re ready to go again. It’s not for the faint hearted, but could be an option if you’re handy with screwdriver and find your machine a little on the slow side.
