Should i wait for 128GB or buy the 64GB? With the recent announcement from Toshiba about 128GB memory sucess....should i wait for 128GB version ?

I'm waiting for a 128gb flash player that SOUNDS good, and can be loaded with a standard usb cable, and not requiring some proprietary software (read itunes). I test drove a 64gb ipod touch when it first came out, because my 16gb cowon iaudio7 is too small, but it sounded terrible, admittedly it was a stock set of tunes ripped at a low bit rate, but when I wanted to load up my own max bit rate tunes to it, the geniuses at the apple store couldn't fathom why someone would want to listen to tunes they'd ripped themselves, or how to make it happen. Hopefully someone raises the bar on storage space and sound quality, neither of which should be hard at this point. I wish someone would swing for the fences and do a flash 256gb player. I have to admit, I'm anachronistic, in that I don't want internet access, apps, videos, etc. just a gigantic music player that's not disk based (use it on a motorcycle, drop it constantly on the commute), that sounds fantastic and has great battery life. The more things a device does, the performance of each of those things suffers.

i have the 128gb, it still works just fine for few months now :). Hope does not die on me...

I ordered mine on January 20 and still not a peep from Amazon...just visited the 5th avenue store and they had a shelf full of the 500 Gb model (no 1 TB models anywhere though...). Amazon should at least give us some kind of update on when they expect them!

Those are very similar HDs with capacity and performance: 750 GB, 5400 rpm 8 MB cache ... just brand difference and warranty issues - Toshiba vs Generic (unknown) manufacture

I cancelled my order. Bought a 120gb xp model at microcenter for 350. I can live without the longer battery life and bigger hd.. I needed it to have it as I am going away this weekend.

The inbuilt memory i have never tried, but should not be too long. I've ordered the 64GB SD card with it, you will have a few hrs recoring with that. Inbuilt memroies are always just a few MB...Greg

Honestly I have no idea. I saw this later on Toshiba's website and tried to compare the specs. As far as I know they are exactly the same but there is a price difference for a reason. I would call Toshiba and ask. I am kinda interested in knowing too.

I don't have the answer. I spent over an hour between Toshiba and the chip people, went through all their charts, etc., and could not get an answer. Finally I looked at the chips closely and determined that it would fit in the slot (:)) which was progress and bought it. I put it in and the difference in performance was ASTOUNDING! Really, I don't know why computer mfg's don't put max memory in their machines. Making you sweat over upgrades.....well. Anyway.

I talked my sister through installing Linux Mint (a branch of Ubuntu) onto hers. She loves it. We used the 64 bit version and upgraded the memory to the entire 16 GB that it holds.

How much of a difference has the memory (upgrade to 4gig) made? I'm pretty happy with the speed in general, but every so often, I get the waiting gray icon.

If you plan on puting on a lot of content, then yes 64 is worth it. BUT 32gb holds a ton of memory as well. I have over 3,000 songs, a lot of photos and large games and still with a few gigabytes to spare.

Iam still on the fence due to the price. Saw a nice looking toshiba for 629.00-any thought? He loves mac as opposed to microsoft. HHMM.

First of all this is an EXCELLENT SSD. The other SSD I had was a OCZ and it was not even close to this one. I do a lot of picture editing which I think this SSD drive is good for that. Right now I have 2,200 pictures on the drive plus all my programs and I still have 90GB left. I think you could get by with the 128GB but would regret it later. I would suggest the 256gb. Speed difference is the first thing you will notice! My laptop boots up in about 10-12 seconds. I think you have make an excellent choice

It is worth getting the 64Gb version -- you cannot go back and add more later. As noted in the other post, the 64gb version does not provide a flash drive with the system restore image. I used a 16gb micro sd card in thumb drive and created a system restore drive. I was then able to free the 8gb that was used for the system restore image, and added to the space to the C: drive. I found a youtube video with the detail on the steps.

I searched Crucial's RAM Adviser but did not find your Toshiba model number??I do not have a Toshiba but CHECK for the following with your old RAM. Make sure your old RAM IS:1. it is DDR2 (not DDR3),2. That it is 200-pin SODIMM (not 204 or other), and4. the same or similar speeds 800 MHzAlso you MUST have a 64-bit operating system for anything over 4 GB to be recognized. If it is 32-bit it would only see 4 GB, and not the total of this kit, which is 8 GB. GOOD LUCK...Finally Amazon is very good about returns, so if it does not work you can return it, and either exchange it for something else of get a refund.

There appears to be conflicting opinions as to whether 2Gigs of memory will improve performance with this netbook. I was just about ready to order the upgrade until reading these comments.Has anyone here upgraded and if so can you say for sure that it has sped things up at all? I actually just called Acer tech support and was told that the Acer Aspire One A0532h-2588, cannot be upgraded to 2GB. So I don't know what to believe now.

Thank you for you reply.I guess I wasn't clear on what I was asking.Is the notebook upgradeable to 2 GB Ram? [it uses 200 pin 667,pc5300 memory] Is it hard or easy to open the case and get at the memory stick?Will it void my warranty? I'm afraid Crucial can't help me with these questions.
