Greetings fellow Profoxers!
I see some external SSD drives on this page:
http://www.newegg.com/External-SSDs/SubCategory/ID-2022?Tid=11694
My laptop is a maybe 4 years old and is running out of local disk
space.
I've got another laptop I can migrate to but I was thinking of just
extending and still using this one yet (because I love it) and using
an
external HD would take care of my space issues...at least for
now...and give
me another area to send backups.
My question: I know SSD drives are 20x faster reportedly, but would
that
still apply if it's an EXTERNAL drive? I understand that using the
USB 3.0
port is better than the older USB 2.x ports and earlier for transfer
rates.
Personally I would just buy a replacement internal SSD and a large
external HDD.
Samsungs are nice.
Clonezilla can be used to transfer your OS to the new drive.
How long do you normally use a laptop hard drive before replacing it
(before disaster strikes it)?
