As discussed in my earlier The Novatech nFinity n1410 Review, I made a mistake in sticking with the default 128gb SSD. I promised to write up how I carried upgraded my Ultrabook by adding an mSATA drive, but time has passed and I failed to take any notes.

The drive I ordered was a Crucial CT256M4SSD3 256GB m4 mSATA 6Gb/s Internal SSD.

The installation was not difficult, and to the best of my recollection followed these steps:

1. Undo screws on bottom;
2. Use knife to gently release the catches around the keyboard;
3. Carefully remove keyboard;
4. I seem to recall that there were additional screws behind the keyboard, which need to be removed;
5. Fit mSATA drive, fixing with screw supplied with the drive;
6. Close case.

Apologies that these instructions are so poor, but hopefully the photographs in the Picasaweb album will help.

Phase 1 of the build of my RepRap Prusa is now complete and I have photographed it thoroughly, to assist others with their build and for general interest.

I have even taken a brief video, apologies for the lack of lighting:

The instructions I followed were the Prusa Mendel Assembly instructions, with modifications described in the Thames Valley Google Groups thread Frame bearing specifics?.

This Prusa is 16mm wider than standard, in order to allow for the heated bed. For further details on the design being followed, please visit:

Looking forward to Phase 2 of the build!

We’ve seen the various plug-in computers recently, but this one looks very good value:

TonidoPlug [TND003SP1A03] - ₤65 : Tonido Store

It was discussed on Floss Weekly in Episode 153.

Other than a vague feeling that it would be handy as an always on ssh host inside my home network, I’m just not sure I’d use it …

More about the TonidoPlug here, oh - and it comes with a selection of mobile apps for accessing your content.

Further to my recent post on the TonidoPlug the following has been sent to me:

• DreamPlug ARM box boosts plug computing thinq

The inclusion of two gigabit ports and e-sata is very exciting, but it is more than twice the price.

Still, choice is good!
