Adding More Storage to Your Asus Eee PC

You can't request more than 20 challenges without solving them. Your previous challenges were flushed.

In this article, we'll be modifying our Eee PC by neatly adding in an extra 32GB of storage space – this is well within the grasp of anyone with even the most basic soldering skills. In part two of this series, we'll be making the most out of the operating system, including how to successfully back up quickly.

The Eee PC has three external USB ports, which is more than enough for something of this size. This particular mod solders into a pre-existing USB port rather than trying to create a new one. This will of course leave you with only two external ports, but this is still an ample amount and can always be added to with a USB hub.

Corsair has been kind enough to provide us with a massive 32GB Flash Voyager. At around £175, this is getting close to the cost of the Eee PC, but still offers pretty good value for all that space. The 16GB version comes in at around £75, which is a little easier to swallow, metaphorically speaking. Physically, they are both the same dimensions – so either will work. Although you could use other brands of flash drive, there is no guarantee that they will fit inside the Eee PC, as this is all we have tested with.

It goes without saying, that this will void the warranty of your Asus Eee PC, and that any soldering is potentially dangerous to you and your Eee PC. For the sake of protecting ourselves, this should be undertaken at your own risk and bit-tech will not be responsible for any damage you do to yourself or your Eee PC.
