The original plan for Asus Eee PC 900 in Japan is to have a single MLC 16GB SSD, and it seems to be too slow for the Japanese. So instead of dealing with irate customers coming back and complaining, AsusTek anticipated it with their last minute initiative. The 16GB SSD will be replaced with two 8GB SSD but only one of them will be SLC (faster) type. Despite this, it’s still a big difference in terms of performance and speed.
The difference is huge: 8GB SLC is 35/28 read/write where 16GB MLC is 30/8, according to jkkmobile.com. jkk is the most famous blogger in terms of providing netbook anatomy and hacks.
The launch in Japan market is postponed to September 20.
