      MSGID: 2:221/1.58@fidonet 0406d952       REPLY: 2:460/5858 63afeac7       PID: OpenXP/5.0.51 (Win32)       CHRS: ASCII 1       TZUTC: -0500       Hello Stas!               SM> But I recommend you do a backup.              At the moment, I don't have enough external memory/storage to        do that. :/                      SM> I recommend you using the SSD as the system drive and the        SM> HDD as the data drive. This configuration will be more        SM> long-lived and reliable.              The T60 affords operating a 2nd'ary drive in lieu of the DVD        drive. But at this point, I am enamoured to reduce heat        generation, associated fan noise, and any hdd noise and just        migrate to SSD ..and I want to retain use of the DVDRW drive        for certain occassions.              A direct SSD migration seems simpler to achieve.              The HDD+SSD project sounds more time consuming.                      SM> PS: Keep in mind that XP does not know how to properly work with SSD. You        SM> need to use at least Win7.              What is "proper"? Are you referring to TRIM and what is also        referred to as Garbage Collection?              XP doesn't entertain extra background disk activity like the        later OSes do. It is my understanding that with properly        adjusted (aligned) partitions, the SSD should have very few        issues operating without TRIM.       --        ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.51        * Origin: (2:221/1.58)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 90/1 105/81 106/201 120/340 123/131 129/305 153/7715       SEEN-BY: 203/0 218/700 221/1 6 360 226/30 229/110 111 112 113 114       SEEN-BY: 229/206 307 317 400 424 426 428 452 470 550 664 700 266/512       SEEN-BY: 280/464 5003 282/1038 292/789 854 8125 301/1 317/3 320/219       SEEN-BY: 322/757 335/364 342/200 396/45 423/81 460/58 633/280 712/848       PATH: 221/1 292/854 229/426           |
