This configuration will be more        SM>> long-lived and reliable.               AA> The T60              Waw! https://arsenal-info.ru/images/img-3_6/tanki-tank-t-60-tth-video-foto.jpg               AA> affords operating a 2nd'ary drive in lieu of the DVD drive.

For a laptop, it is better to replace the HDD with an SSD.               AA> A direct SSD migration seems simpler to achieve.               AA> The HDD+SSD project sounds more time consuming.              For a desktop computer, this is a reasonable solution. For a laptop - only if       there is an M2 slot, or you don't need DVD anymore.               SM>> PS: Keep in mind that XP does not know how to properly work with SSD. You        SM>> need to use at least Win7.               AA> What is "proper"? Are you referring to TRIM and what is also        AA> referred to as Garbage Collection?              They say TRIM significantly prolongs the life of the SSD.               AA> XP doesn't entertain extra background disk activity like the        AA> later OSes do. It is my understanding that with properly        AA> adjusted (aligned) partitions, the SSD should have very few        AA> issues operating without TRIM.              I won't argue.              Have nice nights.        Stas Mishchenkov.              --- Мне бесполезно что-либо запрещать, я и так не собираюсь ничего делать.        * Origin: Lame Users Breeding.
