Yep, I can see how that'd be useful.
Myself, I've avoided vm's as much as I have been able to. Never liked feeling like I was missing out of the performance of running on the metal. Since Azure vm's though I've created many throw away vm's tho. Spin one up do stuff on it, then delete it. I usually delete them because two months later I have forgotten what the hell it was created for. Get worried there might be something important on it. lol They need a Description box on a VM in Azure so you can put some info on what it's for. Especially when your naming is not descriptive enough. Might see if I can feed that back somewhere… Sent from Surface From: Ken Schaefer Sent: Friday, 19 September 2014 9:18 AM To: ozDotNet I have a few hundred GB of VMs, plus another few hundred GB of setup files. Not really suitable to access that all from Dropbox et al J So, this is geared towards people who need to carry stuff around with them From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Stephen Price Sent: Friday, 19 September 2014 11:09 AM To: ozDotNet Subject: Re: [OT] Surface I did a search yesterday for mSata enclosures. Was briefly excited and then realised that the only time I use my current USB3 2.5” drive is when I need to do a backup of something using Acronis. (love Acronis, especially being able to boot it from a USB and back something up with no OS running). All my stuff is on dropbox which I can get at from anywhere. I feel USB devices are now the occasional tool rather than the everyday tool of a few years ago. Still, you can't hold the cloud in your hand. *torn* Sent from Surface From: Ken Schaefer Sent: Friday, 19 September 2014 9:01 AM To: ozDotNet FWIW, this is the mSATA enclosure I got: http://www.amazon.com/Mushkin-AT-ENCKIT-Atlas-mSATA-Enclosure/dp/B00GQV1VFA/ (ordered from RamCity in Brissie but the above link has pictures). Coupled with Samsung 840 EVO mSata SSD. I used to think a 2.5” enclosure was relatively small. Now, my 2.5” enclosures look positively old-school.
