120GB SSD That Needs a Purpose

<< < (3/3)

kitamesume:
how about tweaking your laptop to be battery efficient? like replacing the HDDs with SSDs and under-volting the ram/cpu/gpu and then removing the odd? it should be quite something and it should get results of battery life going up by around 20% at least.
if that weren't possible tho then maybe a 14" i3-ivy laptop would fit for an UMPC.

edit: but if you'll be after a desktop thats ultra portable then its a different story, depending on it's usage you can pull one off using an i3-ivy[-S] and a uITX form factor motherboard with a slim uITX case, most likely you won't be able to fit an ODD in it and one or two SSD would barely fit, usually they come with a flex PSU and pretty uncommon form factor for a case tho Antec ISK 310-150 comes to mind.
if you plan to game on it then theres powercolor's or sapphire's HD7750 single slot low profile card, won't push games at 1080p[high] but it sure will handle 720p[high].

I have no need of a NAS as there's only one of me, if I'm on either my midget computer or my laptop I'm not using the desktop so it can function as a NAS with no performance issues.

What I'd really like to do is build around it and make a UMPC or something but I don't know if that's feasible.

In that case, two more suggestions - replace your laptop's HDD with the SSD (assuming you haven't done so already), or build yourself an HTPC.

Saras:
I'd replace the two intels. There is little to no reason to strip SSD's.

per:
I would add it as a cache-disk for storage drives.

But I am somewhat biased, I guess, since that is the use I am putting most of my SSD:s to. :)
