is it possible to replace the 8 GB SSD...

Hi,

is it possible to replace the 8GB SSD with a bigger one?
I love the A70 but the 8GB is defenetly not enough, I am also using a 16GB mSD...
so it would be interesting to know, if it is possible...maybe a 60GB or a 120GB...

It isn't actually a SSD like a computer SSD. It's a Flash chip that's soldered onto the board.

If you know how to desolder and use the same brand of chips, it may not be IMPOSSIBLE, just probably impractical. =-/

So you are saying breakout the spudger and soldering iron and go to town?
I am also pretty sure it would void the warranty.

I was letting him know what was involved. It's up to him to make his decision. ;-]

Yep Dan,
If he does do it-please put the video up with a link.
Would be educational.

In the past archos has locked down the harddrives to the serial number of the device. Don't know if same here, but something to consider.

Also, there is a 250gb version if you really want more storage.
