Since it turned out newer 901s don't have ZIF, I thought of gathering model and revision info for future buyers (in case ZIF presence really depends on these numbers). If you don't see your Eee's model/revision (or beginning of serial number) in this list, please post.

Looks like serial doesn't mean anything (at least first 6 letters/numbers).

ZIF is a zero insertion force connector. Aside from other things it is used in 901s to connect 1.8" HDDs.

I bought this one yesterday from Micro Anvika in Harrods:
Model: EEEPC901-BK005X (12G, Black)
Rev: 901 12
Serial: 860AAQ
As already noted in the first post, this does have the ZIF (I opened and checked). At around 7:30PM they had 4 left, if you can get there quick enough, you may get lucky...
Offline
Has anyone bought their EEE 901 from newegg and it have the zif socket?
BTW, why are we calling this a ZIF socket? That's kind of a generic term as there are many different kinds of ZIF sockets. Processors use a type of ZIF socket, as do most data cables used in small electronics today. What is this interface actually? Some kind of mini IDE I would guess?

What's the "real" downside of not having ZIF?
Have Asus used an alternative type of connector which still allows adding a HDD, but needs a little more Force?

haha no, just empty solder points for us to look at and wish we could install a hdd. bust instead you want to use alot of force and slam the eee against the wall (EIF connector-extreme insertion force)

Awesome, thanks for the reply. I was hoping for SATA, but that's good to know.

it is pata, but u will be able to find the hard drives by searching for "zif hdd", or "1.8" hdd".
make sure the physical connector is a 40(?) pin ata zif connector.

I can find hard drive for PATA easily enough. I was hoping for a SATA port so I could wire up an eSATA connector.
Offline
the internal interface is PATA.. it has nothing to do with the actually connector.. it is a ZIF connector, search for ZIF 1.8" hdd or ssd.
Even Sata drives of this form factor have ZIF connectors.. so either way u could not use esata

I'm not concerned with the actual connector. If it was a SATA interface I could have built a convert cable to attach the SATA port to a bulk head eSATA connector. Can't do that with PATA as it doesn't accept most SATA commands and isn't hot swappable.
