I'm replacing the 500GB drive       > in this laptop with a 500GB SSD; no moving parts.              SSDs use flash technololgy too, but this:              https://danielmiessler.com/blog/the-difference-between-ssd-and-f       ash-hard-drives/              ...provided a confirmation that the SSD version of flash is "higher quality".              Meanwhile, I copied as much as I could off the old SD card, and then I       re-formatted it which seems to have revitalized it. The 4Gig card is good       enough for temporary storage and transfer of video files until I am done       watching them.              I am also considering the possibility of replacing the 250gig hdd in my trusty       T60 Thinkpad with a 500gig ssd and then "retiring" the laptop to be my music       storage for FLAC or lossless files of my CD collection and for the offline       storage of my growing playlists with Spotify.              --- Thunderbird 2.0.0.24 (Windows/20100228)        * Origin: - nntp://rbb.fidonet.fi - Lake Ylo - Finland - (2:221/360)       SEEN-BY: 1/19 123 15/2 16/0 18/200 19/10 120/544 123/130 131 203/0       SEEN-BY: 221/0 1 6 242 360 226/16 227/114 229/354 426 452 728 981       SEEN-BY: 229/1014 230/0 240/2100 5138 5832 5853 249/206 317 261/38       SEEN-BY: 280/5003 310/31 317/3 320/119 219 322/0 757 342/200 633/280       SEEN-BY: 640/1384 2452/250 2454/119       PATH: 221/360 1 320/219 240/5832 229/426           |
