What kind of SSD is this? (found in my Asus EEE 900)

Question

Thinking the SSD in my EEE 900 was about to collapse, I opened it up to find out what kind of SSD I would need to buy to replace the old one.

It looks like they have some small card, and since I have not seen this type before I wonder if this is some kind of standard?

Bonus if you can give advice on what is a nice replacement for it.

Answer 1

I can't find exactly what SSD that is, but it's a variant of a standard called Mini PCI-E or PCI Express Mini. As detailed here, you need the specific type used by the Eee, of which this is a good example. A guide to upgrading to it can be found here.
